From the goldfish in Raphael’s Madonna del Cardellino to the sacred ibis on an ancient Egyptian wall painting and the quetzal feathers of an Aztec headdress, birds hold a special place in human culture and belief systems. But why do we view some as special, while others are seen as comical or simply as food? Written by renowned ornithologist Colin Rees, this book examines forty-two birds and the roles they have played across civilizations. Each profile offers a fresh perspective drawing from history, art, music, literature and folklore.
