Linda Johns shares her woodland home with a changing flock of injured wild birds. Trees in the indoor garden provide perches. A screened porch is a practice flyway for convalescents. Edna the rabbit and Blossom the media-savvy hen offer comic relief. With exuberant joy, Birds of a Feather tells about the many birds Linda Johns releases back into the wild and the few who move in to stay. Enhanced by her drawings of many avian housemates, this charming book is a must-read for all wildlife lovers.
