The Secret Life of Birds

Explores the life of birds, all around the globe. This title offers an account from the secrets of migration to their complicated family lives, their differing habitats and survival techniques to the secrets of flight, how birds live, why they matter, and whether they really are dinosaurs.

Informationen zum Autor When Colin Tudge was a small boy, he could recognize only five kinds of birds. Following a childhood spent at London Zoo and in conversation with a bird-watching cousin, he began to perceive that 'ordinary birds' included pipits and wagtails, terns and kestrels, and a miscellany of crows, not all of which were black. So began a lifelong interest in birds and how they live. After studying zoology at Cambridge, Colin wrote for the New Scientist and was a documentary maker for BBC radio. Now a full-time writer, he appears regularly as a public speaker. A Fellow of the Linnean Society of London, he was a visiting Research Fellow at the Centre of Philosophy at the London School of Economics for ten years.
