Backyard Birdies

An extraordinarily good looking and somewhat factual illustrated introduction to the birds of Australia from the award-winning author of MEEP.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This is a common pigeon. Common because it's almost identical to every other pigeon.

You'll sometimes see a white one. That's because it's just had a bath. I made that last bit up.

If you would like to learn more VERY REAL facts like this about some of Australia's most common backyard birds, this is the book for you. I mean, who doesn't want to know what bok, bok, bok means in chicken? Or how often a budgerigar poops?

A handy first field guide packed full of fascinating facts (some of them are even true) about Australia's most common backyard birds.
