Publisher's Synopsis
For many, birds represent freedom and spirituality since they are created to be free. Although this may be true for people as well, we are of course not able to be as truly free as our winged friends. Looking out of his office window and seeing birds flying, emphasizing his confinement indoors and the unnecessary complexities of life in general, the author regrets his lost freedom. Life tends to be over-complicated and many would advocate following a simpler life. Birds on the other hand, live the life they are destined for and this book shows how a common love of birds bridges cultures and distance. 'The Birds are our Friends' is a collection of essential information, curiosities, myths and folklore of birds and people.
