Ornithography

From the creator of Floriography and the Woodland Wardens Oracle Deck comes a beautifully illustrated exploration of the folklore, mythology, and history surrounding our favourite winged companions.

Birds have inspired humanity since the dawn of time. Their elegance in flight, captivating colours, and delicate mannerisms spark hope, joy, and delight. Cultures around the world have traditionally viewed birds as sacred messengers and intermediaries between the earth and sky, incorporating them into myths and legends while using them to impart moral lessons and convey historical truths.

In Jessica Roux’s Ornithography, each of the 100 entries focuses on a specific bird species, featuring a full-page colour illustration in her detailed, darkly romantic style, along with lore associated with each bird.

This book is the perfect gift for birdwatchers, gardeners, and history enthusiasts who may already own every identification guide. It is also ideal for anyone who appreciates nature, mythology, and art. Ornithography is as intriguing and playful as the feathered muses that fill its pages.
