'This beautiful book is one to treasure forever' David Walliams,
comedian and children's author WINNER of The Margaret Mallett Award
for Children's Non-Fiction 2022 Have you ever wondered what it
would be like to fly? Or to live high in the tree tops? Or perhaps
you've wondered what birds do when no one is looking? Birds have
some of the most extraordinary - and peculiar - behaviours on the
planet. Ravens love PLAYING games. In winter, they sledge down
snow-covered rooftops on their bellies, getting faster and faster.
Partridges are SNEAKY and know just how to trick hungry foxes. And
honeyguides are HELPFUL. They help humans to find the sweetest
treat in the forest - honey. These are just some of the incredible
stories you'll read in this book. With fascinating factual detail
and playful storytelling from ornithologist Tim Birkhead and
vibrant, personality-filled illustrations from Cat Rayner, this
book captures what it's really like to be a bird.
