Through detailed illustrations and accessible explanations, Omnibird explores the anatomy, behaviour, and biology of birds, from flight patterns and calls to feathers and digestion. The book investigates 18 familiar birds from habitats around the world, including eagles, owls, seabirds, ducks, swans and starlings.
