5.0

Ideal reference book. Accomplishes exactly what it was designed to do.

You do not have to be a bird or gardening nerd to be able to use this... but if you are heavily into either or both, I imagine the direct access to information without unnecessary academic word filler-fluff will also be extremely handy.

Well illustrated and well structured into separate sections that can be cross referenced (Plants / Birds / Tabled Summary of Plant To Bird Feeding Preferences). It is very straightforward and practical to use.

There is some minor depth for each bird in the Bird's section which is nice. I finally discovered what the Tawny Frogmouth's in my area were called (AND what they actually are)... and if I want to learn more, I can make the effort to look elsewhere to find a more in-depth book or reference source specifically on the breed... because that extra depth is not here, so do not make the mistake of thinking that this book goes to Avian enthusiast levels of detail.
