DVD Reviews of Birds, Birds, Birds! An Indoor Birdwatching Field Trip DVD Video Bird and Bird Song Guide

DVD Review: Cat's impression
Summary: 2 Stars

Bought this for my kitty. The first time I played it she was interested, but the second time and subsequent times she's not been interested at all. She knows they aren't real. There are too many indiscrepancies: sound coming from speakers, no movement, etc.

The video itself would be a lot better for cats if:
(a) all scenes had motion; a lot are stills
(b) you could turn off the human "commentary" (distracting)
(c) all scenes were at least 60 seconds in length; most of these are very short (10-15sec)

In summary Kitty would have been a lot happier if I had spent the money on a small bird at the pet shop and brought it home for her to kill.

DVD Review: Nature Study
Summary: 2 Stars

Not an all encompassing view of local birds. Not user friendly interface.
Difficulty in finding specific information.

DVD Review: "Quick, three beers!"
Summary: 4 Stars

Perfect DVD for the bird-brain in your life! Saying "Quick, three beers" is one way they describe the sound of a bird-call in this continuous loop DVD. Lots of great videos, sounds and birds- all your bird-lover needs for those cold winter months when all the real birds have flown south... If you aren't a bird-lover, you may just want to get those three beers for yourself.

DVD Review: Best way to learn bird songs
Summary: 5 Stars

We use this at Audubon displays - next best to being on a field trip.

DVD Review: Useful tool for learning bird calls
Summary: 5 Stars

I love the DVD, however I was surprised to find that there seems to be many more still photos than video clips included. I previewed this DVD very briefly in a store, and noticed only the video.

Description of Birds, Birds, Birds! An Indoor Birdwatching Field Trip DVD Video Bird and Bird Song Guide

The DVD can be viewed on the living room TV or on personal computers as a 70-minute bird-filled documentary. It also serves as an audio/visual reference guide-- one can use the easy-to-use menus to quickly find a particular bird (it contains 218 species found in Midwest and Eastern North America). The DVD is full of extraordinary photography, bird songs and with video footage.

Some features unique to the DVD include a collection of 18 quizzes and a section for comparing similar-sounding birds (for example, melodic, buzzy or unmusical). The narration for each bird does not occur immediately, allowing the viewer to guess what bird she is hearing and seeing. This quiz format keeps the viewer in a state of wonder and makes learning to identify birds more engaging and fun.

The focus of the narration is bird song and bird song mnemonics (such as "Who's awake? Me too" of the Great Horned Owl, or "Quick, three beers!" of the Olive-sided Flycatcher). Also, a bonus "Soundscape" track is included without narration to simulate a field trip to different habitats such as marsh, grassland and forest. This creates a very relaxing natural background which, along with the bird photos, can keep bird-watchers of any level, kids, babies, and pets (especially cats) enthralled for hours.
