## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Beautiful and Serious Book
*by M***M on 1 November 2017*

This is a very serious, but beautifully-illustrated book; the whimsical title is slightly misleading. It is a history of ornithology from the seventeenth century to the present day. It is predominantly centred on Britain, but with important input from Europe and North America. It shows how legend and superstition gave way to systematic and serious study of birds and their behaviour. Not a light or easy read, but a worthwhile purchase for amateur and professional naturalists.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Wisdom of Birds
*by J***E on 9 November 2013*

This is an absolute gem of a book. Perhaps it's something of an esoteric subject, but then most of the books I buy come under this category. However, it is a book which is so readable and entertaining that just about anyone could appreciate it. For those interested in birds and bird-watching this is a must read. I've yet to read the same author's "Bird Sense", but that omission will be addressed in the very near future. Brilliant.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wisdom of Birds
*by A***5 on 15 February 2009*

This book tells what we (humans) have learned about birds over the centuries. It is an excellent and lucid examination of Man's wisdom, or sometimes lack of it. Tim Birkhead is an academic who can communicate brilliantly with the ordinary reader. From bird intelligence, migration, physiology to reproduction, the author covers a wide range of material. The illustrations also are terrific. A 'must have' book for all bird lovers with any wisdom at all!
