Birdsearch

Birdwatching fans who enjoy wordsearches will find plenty to search for here. The book contains more than 100 wordsearch puzzles, drawing on birds from backyard gardens, tropical regions and the open sea, and more than 130 puzzles in total. Among the words to find are the kakapo, the tufted jay, and well-known birdwatchers and ornithologists such as Audubon and Jonathan Rossouw.

The puzzles are grouped by theme, including flightless birds, endangered birds, national birds, bird symbols and omens, birds that appear in book titles, and the names given to flocks. Solving them is presented as a way to relax while building your knowledge of birds, a kind of birdwatching expedition you can take from your armchair.

The book is part of the Puzzles for Animal Lovers series, in which each volume focuses on a different animal, such as dogs, cats or birds. Readers complete the puzzles and learn more about the animal in each book as they go.
