Omnibird

Omnibird is ultimately a guide on investigating the amazing bird life around you in a multitude of ways, and to remind you how incredible all birds are.

Full colour illustrations on every page help show you how to be a bird sleuth, and determine what birds are around you, above you, or have left clues for you to follow. Cross the science of bird study – Ornithology, with bird watching or observing birds around you, and you have Omnibird.

Full of information about all types of birds, whether in your backyard, or extraordinary birds you’ve never heard of, this hardback guide will make your jaw drop one moment and laugh out loud the next.

From bills to beaks, plumes and feet, you will learn, ‘What makes a bird a bird.’ ‘New birds and old birds’, and nests or night birds, are all part of this fascinating study of everything avian.

Learn about starlings and seabirds, corvids and chickens and many birds in between. Learn how to pick up a chicken, how to help a frightened bird escape from inside, and see the world from a bird’s point of view.

Did you know that some birds have more neck bones than a giraffe, or when male turkeys are showing off, they can change the shape and colour of their face? We might call someone a bird-brain if they’re being silly, but can you make a nest with only your mouth, or turn off half your brain to get some sleep – while you’re still flying?

 

Think you know birds? Omnibird will delight and surprise you. I laughed out loud throughout this large format, full colour, hardback book, as Giselle Clarkson’s signature cartoon style captures birds in all their glory.

Just like her award winning book The Observologist, Omnibird is chocka full of illustrations and funny speech bubbles too.

I absolutely LOVE this book!
