About this ebook

All around the world, birds are behaving strangely. Like they have something to tell us ... If only we knew what!

Jay's parents would know. They're bird experts, after all. But they've been on an expedition for weeks and weeks without a single word. So why does no one seem to care, except Jay and his grandad, Poppa?
