Preface

All the stories in this book are strictly true. Nearly all of them are my own observation, part of them studies of captives in my own Bird Room, and the rest of birds in the field.

A few of the incidents have already been

related in my " grown-up " books and in various

publications, but most of them are now published

for the first time.
