So much wisdom to be drawn from the feathered world of birds * Raynor Winn, bestselling author of THE SALT PATH *A charming, witty and thought-provoking look at the way bird behaviour can both reflect and influence the way we live our lives * Stephen Moss (Naturalist and author) *This little book does a beautiful job of inspiring awe for the capacities of birds and applying lessons from their lives to the struggles of humanity * Wall Street Journal *
