Description - The Brilliance of Birds: A New Zealand Birdventure by Skye Wishart
New classy paperback edition of the earlier successful hardcover book, showing New Zealand birds as you've never seen them before.
Who knew that the morepork, our forest-dwelling owl, can turn its head 270 degrees? Or that the eastern bar-tailed godwit doubles its body weight before undertaking an epic and continuous migration of 11,000 kilometres? Or that the tui has a specially placed voicebox, enabling it to duet with itself, sometimes producing sounds too high-frequency for humans to hear?
Zany, off-kilter, wondrous and wild, The Brilliance of Birds gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives of some of New Zealand's feathered friends.
Buy The Brilliance of Birds: A New Zealand Birdventure by Skye Wishart from Australia's Online Independent Bookstore, BooksDirect.
