Author's Note

Since time immemorial, people have been fascinated by birds.
Birds have often appeared as protagonists in people's songs, and have also become the main characters in paintings and myths.
People also used new names to name buildings, streets, and cities.
Birds were a fascinating object of attraction to people, but the most threatening behavior to these birds was none other than humans.
People hunt birds and pollute rivers and seas, destroying their habitats.
I hope this book will help you understand these wonderful creatures and realize just how diverse birds are as a group of animals.
If you thought birds had to have flashy, elegant feathers to attract mates or to signal their presence to competitors, you'd be wrong.
Even birds with plain, plainly colored feathers can compensate for their shortcomings with a variety of evolutionary strategies and behaviors.
These are the stories I want to share in this book.
Although we know quite a bit about the life histories of birds today, it's also true that there's still so much we don't know about them.
I hope that after reading this book, you will learn more about birds and feel inspired to study them yourself.
You don't have to go to remote places like mountains, fields, or the seaside to learn more about and observe birds.
You can observe birds around your home, in a nearby park, or even in the city where you live.
David Lack, a prominent British avian evolutionary biologist, began his first study of the common robin near Oxford City Centre in 1943.
Much of the knowledge we have about crows today is based on what was discovered during research at that time.
Like Dr. David Lack, you too can discover surprising scientific facts about common birds we observe around us and fall in love with the diverse range of birds.
Now, don't just stay indoors. Go outside and observe birds.
An amazing world awaits you.
