Not only that, you'll get the full story on how they build nests with sticks, stones, feathers, vines, mud, saliva, and even mucus. Bird Brains comes loaded with full-color illustrations to showcase these cool behaviors.



Here's a preview of some of the cool facts you'll find in Bird Brains , did you know that :

Birds are smart! Crows watch traffic lights in big cities so cars can break open hard nutshells. Birds are strong! Raptors can withstand G-forces of more than 27 Gs when they swoop down to capture prey. That's three times more than a fighter jet pilot can stand without passing out. Birds are gross! Parent birds feed regurgitated food to hatchlings.

A whole world of wonder awaits any inquisitive kid!
