Birds and Us A 12,000 Year History, from Cave Art to Conservation

Birds and Us A 12,000 Year History, from Cave Art to Conservation by Tim Birkhead, published by Penguin Books in 2022.

Award-winning writer and ornithologist Tim Birkhead takes us on an epic and dazzling journey through this mutual history with birds. Since the dawn of human history, birds have stirred our imagination, inspiring and challenging our ideas about science, faith, art and philosophy, from the ibises mummified by Ancient Egyptians and Renaissance experiments on the woodpecker to the Victorian obsessions with egg collecting and our present fight to save endangered species.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves animals and the natural world.
