The book has pictures that help people learn about many different types of birds and what makes them special. It starts off by talking about how a German artist could copy birdsongs, which shows how much people love the sounds birds make. It then explains the basics of ornithology, like how birds breathe, their body structure, and how they’re built for flying.
