For millennia, birds have
found their way into human culture and expression. In Spain and
southern France, 8000-year-old cave paintings depict eagles, ravens,
cranes, and wild ducks. Preserved inside Egyptian pyramids, 4000-year-old
fresco paintings portray species of birds common in Europe today.
The significance of birds is also reflected in myth and legend,
where birds appear as omens of war, death, or changes in the weather.
There are about 9000 known bird species on Earth.
The selection of our feathered friends can help you visually identify
90 of the most common birds in Europe. As German ornithologist Alfred
Brehm remarked in 1874, "It is easy to recognize the bird by
its feathers."
The bird illustrations in the wall chart and the postcard are drawn
from consultation with ornithological experts.
We believe the poster and the postcard to be nice gifts and also
contribute to a better knowledge about birds. You do not only learn
from the poster, it is also beautiful to hang on your wall. Perhaps
framed?
