What It’s Like to Be a Bird: From Flying to Nesting, Eating to Singing– What Birds Are Doing, and Why

byDavid Allen Sibley

In What It’s Like to Be a Bird, David Allen Sibley presents a science narrative centered on the journey from Flying to Nesting, Eating to Singing– What Birds Are Doing, and Why. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of art and nature. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
