They are always around us, always somewhere nearby: in the sky, in the trees, on the roofs of houses, and on power lines. They have even taken over our language: "chatter like a magpie," "repeat like a parrot," "puff up like a turkey"…
This book, which combines sparkling humor with scientific accuracy, will allow you to fulfill a long-held dream and get to know our feathered friends better: big and small, migratory and sedentary, exotic and the most ordinary ones.
It would seem that after two volumes of amazing and sometimes completely incredible stories about birds, we, the readers of the French series "Birds in Comics," could no longer be surprised, but its authors, Jean-Luc Garréra and Alain Sirvent, have not been wasting time and have released a 3rd volume full of equally curious facts. Could you, for example, imagine that an Australian bellbird uses poisonous caterpillars as a defensive barrier against enemies?.. Or that some petrels live for more than 60 years while retaining the ability to reproduce?.. Or perhaps you've heard whispers that rooks love to take "ant baths," thrushes fight off birds of prey using the "group poop-bombing" method, and green herons have picked up some fishing tricks from humans?.. No?.. Then open this book quickly, in which you will find not only a whole scattering of fun and informative mini-stories about birds, but also a detailed educational workbook about such an important period in the life of migratory birds as migration.
