Description
Hide and Beak is the fun and handy birdwatching guide full of fascinating facts for children aged 5 and up – which Australian birds can you spot in your backyard?
Can you hear something laughing at you from the big gum tree? What is the name of that rainbow bird having a squawk with its family? Who does that big, white feather belong to?
Australia is home to around 800 native birds. In Hide and Beak, author and bird-lover Georgia Angus identifies the most common birds to spot in your very own backyard. Each profile talks about the bird's personality, what it eats, and where it can be found. You can even listen to its birdcall by scanning a QR code!
Learn how to be a birdwatcher and examine beaks, feed, and feathers. With realistic illustrations and comparisons with twin-like birds, you'll be an expert birdwatcher before you know it!
Then take the book along when you travel to the city, parks, beaches, and the bush to find out about the remarkable birds there too. Can you spot them all?
