The Extraordinary Book of Spectacular Birds

What if we took a closer look at this pelican?

No, it's not a photograph, but an illustration.

What is the world's largest parrot called? How many wingbeats can a hummingbird achieve in one second? Why do people say ostriches bury their heads in the sand?

All the answers to these questions can be found in this large-format, illustrated book. With attention to detail, each bird is faithfully represented in the form of a spectacular and very realistic drawing.

For each bird, there are seven to eight incredible anecdotes. A descriptive sheet also presents the bird's habitat, size, weight, lifespan, and a scale allows you to compare its size to that of a human.

From the flamingo to the kingfisher to the Australian kiwi, this book offers a selection of the most fascinating species, from here and elsewhere.

This album belongs to an extraordinary collection of nine reference books.
