Useless knowledge about birds: A fascinating insight into the mysterious world of feathered friends

Birds. They are ubiquitous, from the boldest birds of prey majestically dominating the sky to the humblest sparrows chirping in our gardens. But how well do we really know them? "Useless knowledge about birds" opens our eyes to a world full of curiosities, secrets and amazing stories that nature has in store for us.

In this book, we take you on a journey of discovery far beyond what you could ever have imagined. For example, did you know that the woodpecker protects its brain from concussions by a remarkable shock-absorber system while hammering full force against tree trunks? Or that the jay hides up to 5,000 acorns in different places and remembers where it hid them all?

Immerse yourself in the colorful activity of birds disguising themselves as other animals, or learn about the amazing symbiosis between birds and other animals. Did you know that there are birds that adapt perfectly to their environment to escape predators by pretending to be poisonous caterpillars or dangerous snakes? Or that certain bird species team up with larger animals like hippos or crocodiles to find food and protect themselves from predators?

The impressive territorial songs and dances of some birds are so complex and unique that they are often called masterpieces of nature. Be enchanted by the variety and creativity of these performances, from the brilliant choreography of the bird of paradise to the impressive vocal repertoire of the lyrebird.

But birds are not only fascinating creatures of nature, they have also deeply shaped the cultures and histories of mankind. From ancient legends of birds as messengers of the gods to their depiction in art and music, this book shows how birds have captured the human imagination for centuries.

"Useless Knowledge About Birds" is more than just a collection of facts. It is a tribute to the wonders of nature and an invitation to look at the world with new eyes. It is aimed at bird lovers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the amazing stories our feathered friends can tell us. An absolute must for every bookshelf!

But as he develops into a remarkably fast learner and unrivalled pilot, Chad finds himself valued more and more by his autocratic alien overlords. 
From the edge of the colony's inner circle, the true extent of the aliens' wickedness becomes apparent.

As he works his way deeper and deeper into the colony's trusted circle of power, an opportunity looms on the horizon. 
True freedom lies in wait if Chad's plan comes off, not just for himself but for every human on the colony.
