This book will help interested people to identify and learn about them using the simplest and most obvious identifying feature which is COLOUR.THE BIRD SPECIES in this book are grouped into sections of the most prominent colour displayed during a particular phase of development. Each entry includes information about the habitat, abundance, size, status (whether a bird is endemic, native or introduced), range, conspicuous features and differences between similar species. Location details are also included although a keen bird-watcher should also have a copy of "Birds of New Zealand - Locality Guide" also by this author and available on Amazon.
