The Wisdom of Birds takes 60 amazing birds illustrated by Victorian artist and ornithologist John Audubon, then shares unique strengths of each one to help us build with care, and spread our wings. Includes the proud belted kingfisher, the delicate red-throated loon and the elegant snowy egret and laidback double-crested cormorant.
Don’t encourage birds if you live with cats (keep them inside at dawn and dusk, when birds are likely feeding). Avoid tin or coloured birdhouses (these can overheat and attract predators. Don’t play birdsong near birds (makes them vulnerable to predators). Learn how to create safe havens for garden birds and how to stop birds flying into windows.
