Meet
baby stinkbomber hoopoes, mynah birds with major attitude,
jealous squabbling sparrows, dive-bombing kites, glowing
glittering
sunbirds, lonely crested serpent eagles, and many other exotic
birds . . . In big noisy cities? Yes, in big, noisy cities! This
is bird book unlike any other. Written in a light,
conversational style, it takes an affectionate look at over 50
species of birds through limericks, black and white sketches,
easy-reference information at the end of each chapter, and text
based on anecdotes and Ranjit Lal's own observations.
Photographs on the endpaper offer a ready colour guide to the
birds. Guaranteed
the next the time you hear a bird call, you will not rest until
you have identified it . . .
