"Bird Language" by Jon Young, is the companion dvd to his excellent book "What the Robin Knows." Here is a straight forward, honest, simply stated introduction to the language of the wild. Jon uses the birds to illustrate just how common and interrelated are the noises the animals and birds outside are. Jon uses the birds to demonstrate the communication both intraspecies and interspecies that occurs both in the wilds and in our yards.
We see and hear Jon himself narrating a hour long discussion of bird language. This is presented in a easy to understand and easy to apply way. We see many videos of, and hear several demonstrations of birds' songs, companion calls, juvenile begging, territorial aggression, and their many alarms, both sound and movement. We hear both described and demonstrated how the birds react to different threats. We hear discussions of and videos of various bushman natives using the bird language to stay alive in their world.
I would strongly recommend both this dvd, and its companion book, to anyone wanting to work or recreate in the out doors. By listening and being aware, you yourself can avail yourself of the alarms and warnings being presented around you. You may be the cause of the alarms. Hopefully you can learn how to decrease the alarms you incite. Or, you may be the prey of a predator. The birds will warn you. You can locate game, and avoid spooking game by being aware of the bird language in an area. You can greatly increase the number of wildlife you will encounter by listening to the bird language.
There is a bonus material dvd which gives a detailed discussion and demonstration of a group of young adults learning bird language, along with listing several good other sources. But with the knowledge Jon imparts himself on this dvd, any individual can begin to decipher what the birds are saying.
So, grab and listen to this dvd, and head outdoors to practice a very rewarding tool or hobby.
