The author describes the nine main habitats-marine, wetlands, deserts, tropical forests, temperate forests, grasslands, savanna and steppe, popular regions and mountains-and the ways in which birds living in each have evolved to overcome the conditions imposed on them. Even birds occupying the same habitat vary considerable in beak, wings, feet and breeding habits to allow them to occupy different niches and thereby reduce inter-species competition.
