Fragile, Feisty & Fascinating | 2 Nonfiction Books on Hummingbirds

i personally recommend if you would like to read this story that you just go ahead and read birdology instead because that way you get this story plus six other stories and it'll probably be cheaper

this definitely wasn't a bad book i enjoyed my time reading it but those things definitely got in the way of it being an entirely successful work of nonfiction but if you love hummingbirds it's definitely one to check out

in this book sai montgomery seamlessly mixes in scientific information about hummingbirds which is all fascinating stuff but she also talks about what hummingbirds mean to different cultures and just like in all of her books sai montgomery's writing is just fantastic it's inviting you feel like you're right there with them as they're taking care of these birds so obviously i did really enjoy this one but there was something that got in the way of me giving this book the full five stars that i fully anticipated that i would give it

she's also the author of the soul of an octopus which just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite nonfiction books
