''Birds Britannica'' is book by Mark Cocker and Richard Mabey,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Birds Britannica by Mark Cocker & Richard Mabey )〕 about the birds of the United Kingdom, and a sister volume to Mabey's 1996 ''Flora Britannica'',〔〔 about British plants. It was published in 2005〔 by Chatto & Windus.〔 According to the project's official website:〔
It covers cultural links; social history; birds as food; ecology; the lore and language of birds; myths, art, literature and music; anecdotes, birdsong and rare facts; modern developments; migration, the seasons and our sense of place. Over 1,000 members of the public provided details of their observations and experiences,〔 during the book's eight-year〔 research period. Mabey's contribution was limited by his depression,〔 leading to Cocker having a leading role, doing the bulk of the work and this more prominent credit. == Reviews ==
The Guardian described the book as "a glorious encyclopedia"〔 and Cocker as "British bird life's perfect encyclopedist".〔 The Times said "The entries for every species are a fascinating distillation of expert knowledge, personal account, reminiscence, literary reference and folk belief".〔
