Full of fascinating facts about just how clever birds can be, Bright Birds will delight the whole family, with a foreword by BBC presenter Megan McCubbin.

From bowerbirds to blue tits, parrots to pigeons, fairy wrens to fork tailed drongos, a bird brain may be small, but it is mighty. Learn about the crows in Japan using passing cars to crack nuts, the woodpecker finches in the Galapagos creating their own foraging tools, or the herons who use bread as bait for fishing. Covering everything from migration to nest-building, you'll never look at our feathered friends in the same way again.

Full of Kate Read's richly detailed collage colour illustrations, this beautiful book makes the perfect gift for anyone interested in the natural world.

A richly illustrated, engaging look at just how clever birds can be, to be enjoyed by the whole family.
