Bird Friends - A Complete Bird Book for Americans

This fascinating text contains a discussion of the essential facts concerning bird life that are of general interest, written in the hope that this information will inspire and guide people towards furthering the conservation of birds and their natural habitats. This text was not only written for the bird-lover, but also for the general reader who has no special interest in birds - but is interested in those matters that pertain to community welfare. The chapters of this book include: 'Bird Travelers', 'Bird Music', 'Bird Homes', 'Home Life of Birds', 'Colours and Plumage of Birds', 'How to Know the Birds', 'Friends among the Birds as Destroyers of Insect Pests', 'Friends among the Birds as Destroyers of Weed Seeds', 'Birds as Destroyers of Rodent Pests', 'Foes among the Birds', 'Striking the Balance', et cetera. We are proud to republish this antique book now complete with a new introduction on ornithology.
