This copy was a gift for a friend. My copy I've had awhile and find it the most comprehensive, easy-to-use, practical guide for people who are hobbyists and find "yard" birds fascinating. The author offers not only the usual suggestions for feeding birds, but many ways to recycle human food into bird eats. She describes and defines many aspects of bird behavior. What's nice is the info is in alpha order, whether bird names, critter names, or all types of food. I can't even guess how many times I've pulled my book off the shelf to check on a question or idea. HIGHLY recommend for its practicality and usefulness. A great gift for retired folks who feed birds at home.
I love this book!! Chucked full of information about every bird!! Bird lovers delight!! Lots to read!! The author is very knowledgeable of all bird species. Beautiful color photographs on every page. Highly recommended.

This book is exactly as the title states. anyone interested in being an avid bird supporter needs this book! The manner in which miss Roth presents the care,habitat, and just the needs of the birds in general is very much in lamans terms. choked full of do it yourself things out of materials that most people have laying around the house or garage.since i put her knowledge to use, my backyard has become a sanctuary for our feathered friends, and has brought on a bond between me and my daughter (6) that is , in my opinion, priceless. just today, i gave my second copy to a long time friend as a belated christmasgift , and i don't think that i could have given him anything that he wanted more! A must own, if you feed two, or like me, two hundred birds.
This is a great reference book about what we can do to improve birdfeeders, birdbaths,& the environment for birds with landscaping tips.

I work at a garden center and this book was on the shelf as reference for the bird watching gardeners in town, and I just fell in love with it. I find it fun to just leaf through and get ideas. I always learn something new every time I pick it up, and I like the photography and layout. Unlike many bird books, which can be quite dry and boring, this one is rather aesthetically pleasing! I would and have recommended it to friends.
