Numbering nearly 9,000 species worldwide, birds exhibit an astonishing diversity. Through John Gooders' lucid examination of the similarities and differences between the birds of each continent, this voulme explores the many puzzles of bird behaviour and distribution.
Fascinating insights are provided into bird behaviour - such as the larders of food stored by Eleonara's Falcon, the elaborate courting ritual of Australasia's bowerbirds - and looking ahead, the final chapter takes a realistic view on the future of birds and their survival alongside mankind.
The Survial World of Birds is a superb celebration of the most exciting and variable group of animals on earth.
