“Nearly 750 species, representing every major group of birds, are described in this magnificent book.  Wild and exotic birds – lyrebirds, toucans, ostriches, birds of paradise, the great eagles and vultures, the tiny hummingbird – all are included.  Here too are familiar domesticated birds – poultry, pigeons and popular cage birds shown as they occur in nature.  All aspects of their structure and life are described – where they occur, their size, appearance and behaviour.”
