 2008-07-15 - Great Bird songs
This is a wonderful source for a novice such as myself. The sounds are clear and long enough to depict the typical sounds the bird sings. The only other suggestion I would make is to somehow allow the user to page through the sounds to find the sound first, then indicate the bird that makes the sound since that is the typical way we listen. We often don't see the bird, but the sound first.
Great product for introducing family to bird sounds.
 2008-07-10 - Needs an index
Good bird sounds, but book badly needs an index. There are numbers to press to hear a bird song, but one has to find the page on which the particular bird is discussed to find the "song" reference number. To make things worse, the birds are not arranged alphabetically, but by type of area in which they are found - water, forest, etc. -- which don't correspond to geographic areas.
With a few hours effort on the computer, I made a proper alphabetical index with page number and song numbers, that was sorted by song and by page.

Excellent book. We all love hearing the 250 bird songs incluced in the book. If you hold the search button down you can quickly go to any of the 250 songs. My grand kids spend hours with the book.
2008-07-02 - Recognizing our Backyard Birds
Bird Songs is a wonderful addition to our home library. We enjoy our backyard birds, watching them every morning from our porch. Now we can learn their songs so we can identify them if we don't actually see them. The book is easy to use. Just enter the identification number of the bird into the programmed speaker and the particular bird call will play. In addition to the birds' songs, much information is given about each of the birds such as their habitat, nesting, migration and any peculiar habits.

I've had so much fun listening to the songs of the birds I see...and the ones I don't. I'm learning to recognise the songs when I hear them outside my window! Beautiful bird book to share with my friends!
