Specification The classification of birds has changed dramatically thanks to DNA analysis. This book introduces the "latest DNA analysis column" for the first time in a children's bird encyclopedia. It clearly explains new discoveries that can only be made through DNA analysis, such as "Peregrine falcons are not hawks, but are actually more closely related to parakeets and sparrows!" and "The relative of penguins, who cannot fly, is the leisurely flying albatross!"
Also not to be missed is the 20-page opening feature, which focuses on two major themes related to birds: "Are birds the remnants of dinosaurs?" and "Why can birds fly?" With the discovery of feathered dinosaurs, it became an established theory that birds are the descendants of dinosaurs. By exploring the commonalities between modern birds and feathered dinosaurs, we will uncover the secret of how dinosaurs made their way into the sky and survived as birds in the present day. After reading this feature, you will surely look at the sparrows and crows around you in a different light.
In addition, "Doraemon Nobita's Surprise DVD" is included. It is a 75-minute collection of original nature videos produced by the NEO editorial department in collaboration with the BBC in the UK and Japanese videographers. In the "Bird Call Quiz," the whole family can have fun learning the names of familiar birds that they have always wanted to know by combining their calls and images.
