Birds: Their Habits and Skillsby Gisela Kaplan
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:An unusual collection of curious facts about our feathered friends, this book describes the fascinating behaviors and physiology of birds of all shapes and sizes-from the birds in cities to the wild birds in rainforests, deserts, plains, and coastal regions. Topics discussed include bird evolution and why some came to be flightless, why some birds have well-developed senses and memory, the wide diversity of courtship rituals and territorial displays, and the art of nest building. In short, Birds explains why these creatures do the things that they do, so that people can more fully enjoy and understand the birds they see every day. Supplemented with arresting photography, this is a marvelous companion for the curious birdwatcher, the serious student of biology, and for any nature or bird lover. Book News Annotation:Drawing on their extensive experience in the study and rehabilitation
of birds, two professors of animal behavior at the U. of New England
in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia, have written an informative
volume on bird behavior. Written for the non-specialist bird-watcher,
and including many examples of particular birds, the volume describes
the special features and evolution of birds, the stages of their life
cycle, how their senses function, their capacity for learning and
communication, and their interaction with humans. The volume is
annotated and includes a selected bibliography. Distributed by
Independent Publishers Group.
