A First Book of New Zealand Backyard Bird Songs

This beautifully illustrated sound guide, by Fred van Gessel, is the perfect way to introduce both children and adults to the wonders of the bird song they might find in their own backyard. Each of the 12 species covered – Morepork, Kākā, Sacred Kingfisher, Grey Warbler, Silvereye, Bellbird, Tūī, Fantail, Chaffinch, Song Thrush, Blackbird and Starling – has a short description explaining some fascinating facts about the bird. The reader can then press the relevant button on the side panel and a 10 second burst of the bird's song will be played.
