This is a delightful book, large (8-1/2 by 11 inches), filled with Sibley’s distinctive artwork and an organized potpourri of research-based stories about the science behind bird’s lives. The text is divided into three parts, informational stories or ‘essays’ as Sibley calls them. How are they different?

Greater Flamingos are considered cooperative breeders as fledglings are raised in a creche, in which large numbers of young are watched by multiple non-breeding adult greater flamingos. It is one of the largest flying birds in the world and seems to be capable of social learning ( source ). “Do you think I’m Sexy?”

The answer lies in the information I just provided; how long everything takes when you’re an albatross. It can take over a year to raise a chick for the larger species, and even species that can fit their entire breeding cycle into one year tend not to breed in consecutive years. So what is going on?

It is mostly a question of economics – raising just one is troublesome enough given the resources required to feed and educate the chick. One interesting bit of information on these munias is that birds that inhabit areas with more mixed flocks sing simpler songs ( source ). Fortunately, they are quite common in Shanghai.

I have written about the interesting sex life of these jacanas a few times already (short version: female mates with male, lays a bunch of eggs for him to incubate and raise the chicks, leaves him, finds another male, repeat). But it is all for science, I hear them say.
