The Call of the Birds

A beautifully illustrated book about humankind's relationship with birds, from the impacts made by early settlers through to the modern day challenges of climate change.
Both the dodo and the moa have already disappeared from our world. Could the sparrow, the swallow, or the robin be next?
Ornithologists have been sounding the alarm: bird populations are declining all over the world and some species are on the verge of extinction. The Call of the Birds explores the history of our relationship with birds and helps readers understand the vital role they play in our world. Beautifully written and illustrated, this book empowers future generations to protect bird populations by offering helpful advice and easy, actionable steps.
