On the built-in digital audio player, hear each bird as it sings or calls in nature with audio of the birds provided by the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

As you turn the pages, you'll meet and hear the noisy toucans of South America, the amazing hornbills of Africa and Asia, the secretive kiwis of New Zealand, the song-mimicking lyrebirds of Australia, and many more. Each continent is represented with at least 25 birds.With this gorgeous reference, experience the thrill of bird-watching around the world from wherever you are.
