Birds are a diverse group, and their bright colors, distinct songs and calls addenjoyment to our lives. They are very visible, quite common, and offer easy opportunities to observe their diverse plumage and behaviors. Birds figure prominently in all aspects of human culture from poetry to popular music. Many species are of economic importance, mostly as sources of food acquired through hunting or farming. The most commonly eaten species is the domestic chicken, although geese, pheasants, turkeys and ducks are also common fare, particularly around Thanksgiving Day and the holidays.The vast majority of bird species are socially monogamous, usually for one breeding season at a time, sometimes for years, but rarely for life. The bird population, like many other fish and wildlife groups, is facing threats worldwide. Bird populations are declining, with 1,200 species facing extinction in the next century. This book is a try to remind people with those beautiful creatures and direct their attention for birds protection.
