Birds (A Day in the Life)

Set over a 24-hour period, meet speedy ostriches, tiny hummingbirds, and majestic eagles in this kids' non-fiction book about the coolest birds in the world.Soar through the skies to follow the lives of our feathered friends as they fight, dance, and play their way through their day. Ornithologist Dr Alex Bond tells the story of the world's most amazing birds in the style of a nature documentary - from the dawn chorus to a barn owl hunting at dusk. Inside, you'll also witness a bald eagle on a fishing trip, pink flamingos dancing to impress potential mates, and some of the most amazing nests in the world.

There are lots of really interesting short stories and loads of pictures, which also made it easier to read. It is set over a whole day, and you find out lots of facts about birds. Some birds are really funny, like the flamingos who march back and forth like the guards at Buckingham Palace. WILD WORLD (Natural History Museum magazine)
