Long description
Children love discovering new things. With its photographs and text, Birds of the Kruger for kids will enable young visitors to the Kruger National Park and adjacent game reserves to take their first independent steps towards bird identification. The title features 50 of our most recognized birds, such as the Lilac-breasted Roller, Pied Kingfisher and Helmeted Guineafowl, as well as some, like the Egyptian Goose, Cape Turtle Dove and Red-faced Mousebird, that also occur in suburban parks and gardens. Majestic birds of prey and seldom-seen nocturnal birds are also covered. To make bird-spotting easier, the title groups birds according to where they are typically found, such as on the ground or near water, as well as in trees and bushes. Essential facts given include the bird's size, what it looks like, what it eats and where it lives, plus some details about its behaviour. Full-colour photographs highlight the colours and markings that make each bird unique. A short introduction covers basic identification characteristics such as bird size, grooming, courtship and roosting habits, and differences in bill and feet shapes.
