Fascinating stories of the birds and birdsongs from the Tropics for every week of the year, with QR codes to bring the birdsong to life.From the incredible screech of the macaw, who shows amazing intelligence, to the imitations of humans of the mynah bird and the humming sounds of the hummingbird, this is a beautiful collection of stories about one of nature's wonders: tropical birds.
