Have You Ever Heard of a Kangaroo Bird?

This unusual aviary includes some of the most peculiar birds in the world. Could there be a bird that uses sonar to find its way, or one that tests the temperature of its nest with its tongue? Do you know about the bird that protects itself against its enemies with a terrible odor, or the oxpecker that spends most of its life on a zebra's back, or the cuckoo that only lays its eggs in other birds' nests?

Young bird lovers will be intrigued by this fascinating collection of information about some very remarkable birds. Barbara Brenner's lively text is accompanied by Irene Brady's beautifully detailed and accurate illustrations.
