Syd, covering "the behaviour, diet distribution, and evolution of every known living bird in the world" in 656 pages is a big ask.

The field guide to the birds of Peru (admittedly about 20% of the world total) is also 656 pages.

Quoting from a book catalogue I have just received:

"The Encyclopedia of Birds", Christopher Perrins, Editor. Oxford. (2009 revised edition). Quarto, paperback, 656pp. colour photographs, maps and
other illustrations $60.

   "The definitive single volume guide to the birds of the world.  It
covers the behaviour, diet distribution, and evolution of every known living
bird in the world and is illustrated throughout with stunning colour
photographs and original artwork."

Sounds good.  Any b-auser know it and care to comment?
