Birds with Personality is a fun gift book that takes you around the world
through the eyes of some of the most charismatic bird species on the planet.
Across Earth's diverse ecosystems – from the deserts of Mexico to the
rainforest-blanketed mountains of Papua New Guinea – birds have found
remarkable ways to survive against vast odds. Featuring author Georgia
Angus' stunning, lifelike illustrations, this book will introduce you to 50 such
species, with information on each bird's size, diet, migration patterns,
behaviors and conservation concerns, plus distribution maps. The featured
birds vary from the tiny zunzuncito hummingbird, who weighs only two grams,
to the enormous wandering albatross, who can circumnavigate the Southern
Ocean three times in a single year.
From dancing birds of paradise, to fish-beguiling herons, fiery Adelie penguins
and fruit-loving Dracula parrots, this book will whisk you away to visit distant
lands where you can observe the most iconic birds in the world, and
appreciate them for their beauty and brilliance.
Georgia Angus is an author, artist and nature nerd who lives on the lands of
the Kulin Nation in south-east Australia. She splits her time between studying
environmental science, writing and bushwalking.
