2. That Quail, Robert by Margaret A. Stanger
3. The Blind Owl by Sadegh Hedayat
4. The Osbick Bird by Edward Gorey
5. Bird Brains: The Intelligence of Crows, Ravens, Magpies, and Jays by Candace Savage
6. Crow Country by Kate Constable
7. The Snow Owl by Jon Hartling
8. Owls’ Watch by George Brandon Saul
9. The Trumpet of the Swan by Fred Marcellino
10. A Guide to the Birds of East Africa (Mr Malik #1) by Nicholas Drayson
Oh I really like that first one!
Thank you! I did try to comment on your post, but Blogger doesn’t seem to be working well right now. I’ll check again later.
Oh thank you! I know a few people have have had trouble lately…
You’re welcome.
I like your avian take on the topic.
Thank you!
Fab covers!
Thank you.
Love this take on the theme! What an ambitious lot of finds.
Thank you very much!
The Blind Owl cover is stunning <3
Agreed!
Love that you focused on birds! I do love that cover for Crow Country.
Thank you. Yeah, that one is so pretty.
What a great collection of titles/covers!
Thank you!
Lovely! The Goldfinch, How to Kill a Mockingbird, I know why the caged bird sing… There are so many more great titles!
Thanks for visiting us earlier!
You’re welcome. Yes, there were a ton of books that could have been included here.
What a great take on this week’s topic! I’m intrigued by That Quail, Robert. There’s got to be a story behind that title, and I want to know it. The Edward Gorey entry also caught my eye. I had a poster of the Gashlycrumb Tinies hanging on the wall of my dorm room in college. Marvelously macabre!
I’d add a book to your list: The Owl Service by Alan Garner. It’s an adaptation of a Welsh myth, and I rather enjoyed it.
Thank you. I’m looking that book up now. It sounds so good.
Oh, and one from my childhood, if we’re venturing into the world of imaginary birds: The Ice-Cream Cone Coot and Other Rare Birds. It was one of my favorites, and I read it to my boys when they were young.
Aww, that sounds fun, too!
I love the colours and illustration on Death of a Songbird
Glad to hear it. 🙂
I love how you put your own special twist on this week’s prompt, especially since it was already challenging, so great list!! The only one I know from this list is The Trumpet of the Swan, which I read as a kid but haven’t thought of in such a long time! Thanks for the memories this week.
You’re welcome. I haven’t actually read that book yet, but now I really should! 🙂
I love that you went with Birds this week, too. You found some really great choices. I can’t wait to check some of them out. And thanks for commenting on my blog earlier. 😀
You’re welcome. Thank you for your kind words.
Ooh, more bird themed books! Great idea for this week 🙂
Thank you. 🙂
Birds are really popular in titles and covers. I love seeing all the different ones today.
Yes, I noticed that, too. What a lovely surprise that was. I thought our list might be the only avian-themed one. 🙂
Oooh nice picks! All birds too! I just went with whatever covers I could find with animals on them! Lol!
Thanks for visiting my TTT!
You’re welcome. You had a nice list.
Great way to specialize the topic! I kind of wish I’d looked to see if I had titled animal books. Maybe next time! 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting my website this week.
You’re welcome. You can always save that idea for the next animal or freebie post if you wish. 🙂
Oh, great list! I love how many bird books there are out there, and how varied your list is. Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier!
Thank you! Yeah, birds are so common on books. I hadn’t realized that before.
Great titles, I remember reading The Trumpet of the Swan many years ago.
Thank you. Did you like The Trumpet of the Swan? I still need to read it.
Wow, you made it even harder with your take on the prompt. Well done! I remember reading that E.B. White book as a child.
Thank you. 🙂
You’ve found a bunch of bird books that I’ve never heard of. Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier.

You’re welcome. Thank you for your kind words.
Beautiful books.
Thank you!
I love all of the covers you chose. The Trumpet of the Swan was one of my favorite books when I was a kid.
Thank you, and what a nice memory.
Oooh, nice! I love your theme, and it definitely brings back memories seeing The Trumpet of the Swan!
Thank you. I really need to read that book!
Great list!! I haven’t read any of these but this theme is great! I think Trumpet of the Swan is one that my husband has from his childhood books!
Thank you. And that’s so sweet. 🙂
I love that you went with birds😁 This a such a fun list!
Thank you very much!
A great list. I struggled with just generic animals!
Have a great week!
Thank you. I’m glad you were able to come up with a list. It’s no fun to struggle with TTT topics. 🙂
Birds are popular subjects for book covers. I’ve seen a lot of them on TTTs this week.
Yes, I noticed that, too! I wasn’t expecting it, but it was cool to see what everyone came up with.
I like that you went with birds in titles! Great idea!
Thank you.
What a fun way to narrow down this prompt! I remember loving Trumpet of the Swan very, very much in my tweens.
Thank you. I didn’t realize how many people would remember and love that book. 🙂
