Tropical Birds by Tom Jackson (Amber Books) 3 Stars

Publication date UK format 14/4/22 Book 224 Pages


I would like to thank the author, publishers and Netgalley for allowing me to pick this to read and review all my reviews are honest.




Synopsis

Tropical Birds is a concise exploration in eye-catching photographs of these exotic creatures, with full captions explaining their origins, habitat, and behavior. Most of the world's exquisite and rare bird species are found in tropical rainforests—the Amazon, Sumatra, Borneo, Daintree Rainforest in Australia, and the Congo basin in Africa. These lush, wet biospheres are home to some of the most colorful creatures on our planet. Did you know that parrots can live for 80 years or more? Or that most tropical birds are omnivores and will eat seeds, nuts, fruit, and insects, while a few will eat small lizards or animals? From the screeching red-and-green macaw to the majestic great hornbill, from the rainbow lorikeet of northern Queensland to the endangered Spix's macaw of the Amazonian rainforest, Tropical Birds explores the fascinating lifecycles, diets and, where applicable, migratory patterns of hundreds of species from every part of the tropical belt.


My Review


This great book was packed full of beautiful photographs. I really did love looking at the different species of birds. Each bird had a very small explanation, a line or two about each bird. The book was split into different types of birds so it made it easy compare the different subspecies from around the globe. This book would be brilliant for those who love looking at beautiful bird photography. For me I love learning and was rather disappointed by the lack of information about the birds. This book had so much potential to be a 5 star book . I just wished they had resized the pictures to pack more information in. I was glad I read this book as I just loved the great pictures.

Many thanks to the author and publishers for bringing together such a wonderful collection of bird pictures.
