I learned very quickly I did not give a fig about birds lol however, it’s very thorough and is grounded in an interesting narrative around a personal trip. The author narrates it themselves and makes bird calls often… and, I mean, I’ve no idea if they were good—but it was endearing and funny. I don’t know if they were meant to be, though. Was he injecting humour or was he just like straight up filled with bird love and wanted the reader to know the calls? I suspect the later.

For people who are interested in the subject and nature and the narrative premise rooting this flight of fancy, I suspect people would adore this. Not for me, though it is successful.
