Why Don’t Woodpeckers Get Headaches? Book

$9.95

Mike O’Connor
A beginner’s guide filled with wisdom and humour. In 1983, Mike
O’Connor opened the Bird Watcher’s General Store, which might
well have been the first store devoted solely to birding in North
America. Since that time he has answered thousands of questions
about birds, both at his store and while walking down the aisles of
the supermarket. The questions have ranged from: inquiries about
individual species (Are flamingos really real?”) to what and when
to feed birds (“Should I bring in my feeders for the summer?”)
to the down-and-dirty specifics of backyard birding (“Why are
the birds dropping poop in my pool?”). Answering the questions
has been easy; keeping a straight face has been hard. Why Don’t
Woodpeckers Get Headaches? is the solution for the beginning
birder who already has a book that explains the slight plumage
variations between doves, but who is really much more interested
in why birds sing at 4:30 a.m. instead of 7:00 a.m., or whether it’s
okay to feed bread to birds, or how birds rediscover your feeders so
quickly when you’ve just filled them after a long vacation. Or, for
that matter, whether flamingos are really real
