Exotic Birds presents a treasury of brightly coloured, uniquely plumaged birds. These strikingly beautiful birds, whose images have been captured by world-renowned photographers, can be appreciated as colourful works of art or viewed as singular creations of nature whose habits and activities are intricately influenced by the shape and coloration of each bird in its environment.
Birds come in endless variety, and every one of the many thousands of species is uniquely interesting. The fascinating array of each bird selected for inclusion here - from the piratic, long-winged frigatebirds to the tiny, equisitely brilliant hummingbirds - are proof of this.
In this stunning collection, you will find birds of every colour of the rainbow, including the most colourful bird in the world. Among them are birds that mate for life and birds that do not possess that instinct; birds that are attracted to flowers and scavenger birds that live off carrion.
These special birds come alive in the pages of this book, especially in the individual photo captions, which tell the reader something about each bird's life.
Please Note: Because of the extra large size of this book $2 has been included in the normal price to help cover the additional packaging and postage cost.
