Dr Gráinne Cleary Allen & Unwin

The behaviours, survival skills and diets of birds have long been a source of fascination for nature enthusiasts. In this book, wildlife ecologist Dr Gráinne Cleary answers more than 50 often-asked questions about birds. Why do they sing in the morning? Why do birds have three eyelids? Why do we see so few dead birds? You’ll find all the relevant information in this book. You’ll also discover the answers to perplexing questions about specific species, such as why flamingos stand on one leg, why ibises eat rubbish and why starlings form murmurations.
