There are profiles of over 50 birds, with key information for identifying and learning about their different plumage, song, food and ways you can attract them to your garden. However Garden Bird Confidential goes further than just the general profile, revealing the more secretive and intimate aspects of their existence, such as: unusual feeding behaviour; territorial conflict; strange relationships with man; and, breeding and nesting oddities.
