 Great for teaching high school ornithology March 17, 2006

It's been great for teaching a high school level bird watching class in the middle of winter before the birds get to the North East. Great preparation.

I was very disappointed in this DVD. It was a DVD for someone who wanted only the very basic information on birds. The DVD was very short and could have added a lot of expanded details. The ability to view details of color and details of wing, tail bands, etc would have offered a much better learning tool. It also could have had the bird call longer throughout a longer display of bird colorations.
This DVD looks great September 19, 2005

This video looks great, but my comment is about ET Ashworth's irresponsible comment about the Audubon VideoGuide DVD's below. There was a production problem with a batch of DVDs and the publisher has worked tirelessly to make those affected satisfied customers. I don't know what Ashworth's problem is but if he had contacted the publisher at Mastervision he would not be sniping now. I know this because I have talked to many of the affected by phone, reviewed the problems (which were introduced during manufacturing of disk one), and made sure they either received chargebacks or good working disks.
I'm ordering Birds Birds Birds because it looks to me like it does something different than the Audubon Society VideoGuides, and I find that there is so much about birds to know that a lot of sources are not only helpful, but a necessity.
Very well done August 18, 2005

Informative, brief, arranged to make accessing particular species easier, and the announcer has a delightful voice -- she's almost as much fun as the birds with her mnemomic impressions.
If you enjoy birding, and particularly if you are new to the hobby, as are my wife and myself, you will find this well worth the investment. (BTW --Avoid the Audobon DVD's -- they may say they have corrected the poor manufacturing, but they haven't.)
This is highly recommended.

Truly, I am enjoying "Birds! Birds! Birds!" and I am purchasing a second for the friend who patiently got me into birding back when I could just about tell that a Robin is not a Cardinal. Its photography and/or videography of each Eastern bird is impressive. More than a few of the shots are artistic and not just a 'make-do' illustration. The quality of the audio is fine, and the examples of calls and songs seem to be quite useful. Curiously, I am recalling more of the mnemonic devices (such as "ee-oh-lay" for the Wood Thrush) because of the narrator's voice which is female. Though not in-depth (like the birdsong collection by Peterson's Field Guides) this is, nevertheless, as they say, a bang for the buck. (And I saved nearly $10 buying mine from one of the other new/used sellers - located in my region.) There is no accompanying booklet; and that might be a problem for some folks. However, the DVD menu lets you go to the index. There's also a category of "Sounds Like..." To stretch your knowledge, there are numerous quizzes. I can imagine that birders of less than expert capabilities - such as myself - might even take this along to view and hear on a laptop or on a car DVD player to be able to check on characteristics while in the field.
