Nurturing new life

The immense variety of nests that Brazilian birds build 

With about 300 photos and texts on bird breeding habits, this book features nests of clay, straw and even a nest built with paper clips; it brings isolated nests, tree-hanging nests, colony nests, camouflaged nests and others built straight to the ground, in plain sight. Each species with its characteristics.  

The photos are so beautiful that at the time the book was launched an exhibition of the different types of “houses” shown in this book graced the garden of the Brazilian House Museum of Sao Paulo (Museu da Casa Brasileira) for a few weeks and then traveled through schools, showing the constructions that birds make to reproduce.
