Colors, songs, and different habitats make the world of birds especially diverse. In the bird profiles, you can discover different species that I have observed and photographed myself. You will learn more about their special features and appearance.
The profiles cover more than their visible features. They also explain how the birds live and what they eat. You will learn which habitats are important for each species. This gives you a clear and easy overview without having to read complicated scientific texts.
