About this item

When Swanda first moves to Brooklyn from the country, she misses the wildlife she left behind. But not for long. "Oh, look! What dear little birds!" Swanda says to her dog when she notices all the pigeons outside her apartment. "Come, Waldo, we'll get them a bird feeder all their own. " It's fun to watch the pigeons flock to the feeder, at first. But then more arrive ... and more ... and more. And before she knows it, there are too many pigeons! Swanda seeks some "Sound Practical Advice" from a few experts - a pest control officer, the keeper of birds at the city zoo and an exotic bird fancier from Peru - but that gets her nowhere. So her neighbors step in with their own Brooklynese solution: "SWANDA, YOU GOTTA STOP FEEDIN' DA BOIDS!" Author James Sage's funny picture book explores what happens when a nature-loving girl meets city birds.
