In The Secret Life of
Birds, lifelong bird
enthusiast Colin Tudge
explores the
extraordinary variety,
secret history and hidden
importance of birds
around the world. Birds
are beautiful,
intriguing and
life-enhancing. They can
do everything mammals
can, and even more
besides. Collected here
are birds who navigate
using the stars,
tool-making crows,
territorial robins,
cooperative penguins and
swans who mate for life -
among hundreds of others.
Revealing everything from
why birds sing to how
they fly, think, bond
and survive, from how
they evolved (and whether
it really is from
dinosaurs) to why, in so
many ways, they are very
much like us, this rich,
evocative book will make
you love and admire the
birds that are all around
you. Enjoyable.
..entertaining.
..masterful. (Stephen
Moss, Guardian). Simply
fizzing with ideas.. .his
heart is with the birds.
(Literary Review).
Inspired...Tudge's
writing is always clear
and frequently
embellished with wry
humour. (Richard Fortey,
Sunday Telegraph). Only
when we read this
scintillating study do we
see how little we've
known about the creatures
we see around us.
(Michael Kerrigan,
Scotsman Books of the
Year).An author whose own
deep relish for the
extraordinary lives of
birds seems only
marginally less
pleasurable to him than
sharing that wonder with
others. (BBC Wildlife
Magazine). When Colin
Tudge was a small boy,
he could recognize only
five kinds of birds.
After studying zoology at
Cambridge, Colin wrote
for the New Scientist and
was a documentary maker
for BBC radio. His other
books, also published by
Penguin, include The
Secret Life of Trees and
So Shall We Reap: What's
Gone Wrong with the
World's Food - and How to
Fix It.
