Wasn't expecting this. But it's still ok.
I wasn't expecting this. I'm ten years old. I thought this book would tell you the name of the bird, the food he likes and the feeders he prefers. The book says that but also says lots of other things about the bird. For examples; the northern cardinal: I thought it would tell you the name at the top of the page, (which it does), and also it would give a list of the foods he likes, but it told you what food he likes in a story, and it doesn't say suet in the story, which he does like because I've seen them on it lots of times. Then I thought afterwards it would tell you what feeders the bird likes, which it did, in the same story. At least it does tell you what food the bird likes. I thought it would be like the hummingbird book , it has a picture of some feeders and underneath tells you the brands. Did not do that. I thought this book was about bird feeders, not the birds on them! But at least it tells the birds favorite foods. And the book I got didn't look like the one in the picture, it had the same title and it was by stokes, but the picture on the front was different.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than identifying birds, this one gives you interesting tidbits about each one
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2020

This should be a coffee-table book -- it's great to have around, to pick up when you see a bird at the feeder. I used it many years ago when I started feeding the birds. I recently sent a copy to my in-laws, who have been enjoying their backyard birds, and they love it. Each bird has two or more pages with photos describing where it might be found, what it eats, and how it behaves, that make it easy to identify the birds and understand their behavior. It has a lot of great photos and useful chapters about attracting birds, feeders, and seeds.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite bird book ever!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

I love that it uses actual pictures, not drawings, showing male as well as female birds. It explains which ones are ground feeders and which ones like hanging feeders. It tells what kinds of sounds they make to further identify them and behavior specific to them as well. I bought my own in the 1980s and was very happy to find it new for a new neighbor who just moved here from another state and is interested in the birds here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, Slightly Misleading Title
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2007
Verified Purchase
This book is subtitled "The complete guide to attracting, identifying, and understanding your feeder birds." While it is good at the "identifying" and "understanding" parts, it leaves something to be desired in the "attracting" department. I had hoped for a book that would tell me what has a good chance of drawing specific birds, but except for hummingbirds, it really doesn't go into detail about the topic. It's still a good book as far as it goes; I simply don't think that it's much of a guide to attracting the specific birds you have reason to believe are in your area, but goes with a considerably more general approach.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Best
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2009

I own dozens of books about bird feeding and identification. Of them all, I found the Stokes book to be one of the best written, and most informative of them all. The Stokes family has been at the bird business for a very long time and takes a rather folksy attitude toward the facts about bird feeding. Its entertaining without being technical or boring. For the price they are asking new with free shipping, this is a book for the backyard novice, as well as experienced birder I would recommend..
