Birds have inspired people since the dawn of time. They are the
notes behind Mozart's genius, the colours behind Audubon's art and
ballet's swansong. In The Birds They Sang, Stanislaw Lubienski
sheds light on some of history's most meaningful bird and human
interactions, from historical bird watchers in a German POW camp,
to Billy and Kes in A Kestrel for a Knave. He muses on what exactly
Hitchcock's birds had in mind, and reveals the true story behind
the real James Bond. Undiscouraged by damp, discomfort and a reed
bunting's curse, Lubienski bears witness to the difficulties birds
face today as people fail to accommodate them in rapidly changing
times. A soaring exploration of our fascination with birds, The
Birds They Sang opens a vast realm of astonishing sounds, colours
and meanings - a complete world in which we humans are never alone.
