An Illustrated Aviary

Discover the world’s birds, their homes, and their eggs in this gorgeously illustrated, entertaining, and educational guide.

Did you know that the tailorbird “sews” leaves together to make its nest? Or that hummingbird eggs are the size of jellybeans?

Birds are some of the world’s most beautiful and interesting creatures, and their nests and eggs are no exception, displaying a stunning diversity of shapes, sizes, functions, and materials. In Nests, Eggs, Birds, celebrated artist and author Kelsey Oseid explores the fascinating ins and outs of where and how dozens of avian species–robins, birds of paradise, crows, owls, penguins, and more–make their homes and lay their eggs.
