Birds in Comics. Volume 3

They are always around us, always somewhere nearby: in the sky, in the trees, on the roofs of houses, and on the wires. They have even filled our language: “to chatter like a magpie,” “to repeat like a parrot,” “to puff up like a turkey”...

This book, combining sparkling humor and scientific accuracy, will allow you to fulfill a long-held dream and get to know our feathered friends better: big and small, migratory and sedentary, exotic and the most ordinary.

It would seem that after two volumes of amazing, and sometimes utterly incredible, stories about birds, we, the readers of the French series “Birds in Comics,” cannot be surprised any longer. However, its authors Jean-Luc Garréra and Alain Sirvent have not wasted any time and released the 3rd volume, filled with equally intriguing facts. For example, could you imagine that the Australian bellbird uses poisonous caterpillars as a protective barrier against enemies? .. Or that some albatrosses live for over 60 years while retaining the ability to produce offspring? .. Or maybe you've heard that rooks love to take “ant” baths, that thrushes fight against predatory birds by the method of “group poop throwing,” and that the green heron has observed some fishing techniques from humans? .. No? .. Then quickly open this book, in which you will find not only a whole array of fun and informative mini-stories about birds but also a detailed educational workbook discussing such an important period in the life of migratory birds as migration.
