Backyard birds and their songs.

I gave one of thes activity books to great grandchildren to encourage them to follow our family tradition of becoming bird lovers. It has proved popular for the parents and children to use it at home and on country holidays.A family who has recently settled in New Zealand are keen to learn about backyard birds and their songs so for Christmas they will be receiving A First Book of NZ Backyard Birds and Their Songs.

About the Author

Highly respected author Fred van Gessel has been recording the bird sounds for more than 40 years, building up a huge knowledge of the subject during that time.

I ordered a book online and received it within 2 working days from the opposite end of the country! I accidentally input the wrong delivery address, but emailed the team and they promptly corrected it straight away before it went out. Amazing service!
