How To Make Friends With Wild Birds

Be a Bird Whisperer in your own back yard!

Can we make friends with the birds? Can we communicate with them? Can we learn to understand them? Can they learn to understand us?

Birds are intelligent and emotional beings. As different as we look from them, birds can perceive us as fellow creatures with whom they can communicate. The better we understand them, the better we can communicate with them. As with any friend! So this book helps explain what it's like to be a bird. How birds think and feel. How the world looks to them. And how we appear through their eyes.

This book can help both young people and adults to learn the art of birdfriending. Get birds to trust you, come to you, and see you as their friend. Learn to eavesdrop on their conversations. Get to know individual birds and their unique personalities.

Being in nature is good for our mental health, and birds bring nature right to us. Birds bring the wild into our world, no matter where we live. Even someone without a yard can make friends with birds. Birds are everywhere, and birds who live in a city or town are already used to seeing humans as part of their world. Those birds are the ones who are most adaptable and open to new ideas - even, perhaps, to the idea of being friends with a human.

Birds invite us to look up from our screens, to join them out in the sunshine, and to rediscover the wonder of real life. Our birdfriends can help us reconnect with nature - and with our own deep selves.
