A really fascinating dive into all sorts of bird behaviors, evolutions, oddities, and more. I really enjoyed the various snapshots and insights into the world of ornithology. Only downside was it jumped around so much from one species to the next, one evolutionary trend to the next, one continent to the next, that I found it hard to retain the specifics of what I was learning about in each instance. I suppose that reflects one of the core themes about how birds are one of the most varied categories of animal and making any sort of sweeping conclusion is a fool’s errand!

In the end, really informative about what we can learn from birds and, critically, why we must be good stewards of the environment to help bolster their survival.
