Originally published in hardcover by Alfred A. Knopf, a division of Penguin Random House LLC, New York, in 2020." -Title page verso. "Adapted for young readers". "Did you know that many species of birds have sensory abilities that surpass those of humans? Or that some birds spend the entire winter in the air, and even sleep while flying? Have you ever wondered why birds have feathers? Or why they are a particular color? Have you noticed that some birdsong sounds like a musical scale? Maybe you’re more interested in “how” questions: How do birds actually fly or swim? How and why do some birds migrate? How do they find food? How do they take care of their offspring? Birds are not only beautiful and fascinating, but they also serve an essential role in our ecosystem. This book shows how birds and humans are intrinsically connected, sometimes helping and sometimes hindering each other.". Ages 8-12 Delacorte Press. 20240301. Birds Juvenile literature.
