Title: Love it, fun inspirational book
Review: I have the Lego ideas birds set and always felt that I wanted to learn more about of this style of building. The book is a great follow-up to the now retired birds set. It greatly expands on the design style with a lot of unique builds spanning birds from all over the globe.The average LEGO collector will not be able to build much from this book from their collection as many of the sets require a high number of specialized parts in specific colors. If you're in search of an instruction manual to build from your home collection of bricks you might be disappointed. However, if you're looking for some inspiration on nature building this book is a great reference.

Title: Awesome book
Review: Love this book! Easy to follow instructions. Some parts might be hard to find in a regular LEGO toy box but there are couple websites that sell all of it. Best thing about this book that they give you the part number so it’s super easy to make an order!

Title: What a great book! For once
Review: What a great book! For once, a lego book with step by step instructions instead of pages of amazing things...and no word on how to make them. The one tiny problem with it is that it's sometimes hard to tell the colors apart when they use similar colors for the same bird, which could be solves by a one or two letter color key, but it's not so big of a problem that the occasional squinting and comparing can't fix. Five points for the beautiful designs and actually telling you what piece numbers you'll need!

Title: Please write a book on more complex animals
Review: I have been a fan of Thomas Poulsom ever since I found his birds collection. This book is enjoyable and well done. Planning on building several of the birds. Need to order the pieces. However I would ask that Tom write a second more advanced book on how to build birds similiar to his more complex creations. I have been drooling over the Taco Toucan and know I could reverse engineer it but would prefer to benefit Tom for his work. Please Tom write a more advanced book on Lego Birds and Animals.

Title: Beautiful birds
Review: This is a very cool book. My son has been in to legos for years. The only thing about this book is that ordering the pieces for each project is not so easy because the book is not directly from Lego. Some of the projects require over 50 different pieces so its time consuming to order. This is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.

Title: Love building these birds.
Review: Fun book I would buy again. AFOLS shouldn't hesitate to buy this. Lots of great techniques.My biggest complaint is the colors and parts are really hard to find sometimes. Even just identifying what the publisher is trying to communicate is hard.Example: The nose on the painted bunting you can see is without groove the book lists the one having a groove but I was not able to find any sand blue one by one cones with the groove. The part I used hasn’t been made since 2004.We have also built the Kingfisher that other people have pictured. Soon to build several other models.Great fun. I would still say this is not for your average young builder and better suited for 16+.

Title: Good selection of birds, includes all you need (except the LEGOS) to build your own.
Review: The book includes 15 different birds, so many to choose from.Each bird includesa photo to the LEGO bird (actual photos are included in a summary in the back, which is nice)a parts listinstructionsI have yet to build any of the birds, but plan on it. I can't vouch for the instruction correctness or ease to follow, but they look like they are complete and easy to follow..Glad I purchased the book.

Review: The instructions are easy to follow and the builds small enough so that even an average lego fan is likely to have those bricks at home. Highly recommended.

Review: Amazing color step by step instructions on every page. Basic pieces used for most birds, you are able to start right away with a just a midsize multiple pieces set. Add in some pieces from your own sets or special order a dozen pieces in that perfect color to make your bird stand out.Shipping to Canada took a little extra time, but that's our mail, not the British Post which I happen to know rocks! Absolutely no unexpected costs or duty (like ordering from a certain neighbor)Definitely will order again.

Review: Ho acquistato questo prodotto per un bambino di 8 anni appassionato del lego. Come sempre Amazon mi colpisce favorevolmente per i tempi di consegna e confezione.Il libro è bellissimo ed il bambino si diverte molto a copiare gli animaletti indicati.

Review: Ich konnte im Buch nirgendwo eine Bricklinkliste für die Teile finden. Mit der Teileliste im Buch kann ich so wenig anfangen und ist weitgehend unnötig. Vielleicht hat ja jemand einen Tipp...Weiter Infos findet man auf youtube bei bricks4jo. Im Prinzip gefallen mir leider nur 2-3 Vögel.
