What do crested tits and Ukrainian housewives have in common? Why do female penguins like smooth men and why didn't peacocks please Darwin? Is there really a swan's loyalty and how do ducks give advice to impudent suitors? And why should Ukrainians worry about Kramer's parrot, who settled in Kyiv? The answers to these questions are known to ornithologist Natalia Atamas, who in her book talks about how birds live and how their behavior is similar to human (or vice versa - our habits resemble birds). Natalia humorously explains why birds build harems and how they "edit" the quantity and quality of their offspring, how they build nests and look for a mate, plan wintering and why the pairs separate and leave their families. A special place in the book is devoted to the culture of birdwatching, ie the contemplation and study of birds, and its therapeutic effect on humans. Natalia Atamas is an ornithologist, candidate of biological sciences and popularizer of science. Opera lover and kayaker. He raises a son, a fluffy cat and a doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, who can't stand opera. Natalia works at the Institute of Zoology. І.І. Schmalhausen of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv, specializing in nesting biology and ecology of water birds. Promotes science and birds on Facebook, offline and in general wherever invited. In addition to scientific work and popularization, he continues to go on field expeditions, mostly water, at the head of a whole flotilla of kayaks. The book is illustrated with photos of ATO veteran, free-fight coach and birdwatcher Valery Chobotar.
