This is an engaging book about birds, their senses and behaviour. What is it like to be a swift, flying at over one hundred kilometres an hour? What is going on inside the head of a nightingale as it sings? Bird Sense answers questions like these and many more and is a fascinating look at how birds interpret the world.
