Birds, Birds, Birds! An Indoor Birdwatching Field Trip DVD Video Bird and Bird Song Guide
Unless you are an avid bird watcher and need resource material for north american bird sounds, this DVD is otherwise a waste of money. Spend the extra money and buy “the Life of Birds”.

This video looks great, but my comment is about ET Ashworth’s irresponsible comment about the Audubon VideoGuide DVD’s below. There was a production problem with a batch of DVDs and the publisher has worked tirelessly to make those affected satisfied customers. I don’t know what Ashworth’s problem is but if he had contacted the publisher at Mastervision he would not be sniping now. I know this because I have talked to many of the affected by phone, reviewed the problems (which were introduced during manufacturing of disk one), and made sure they either received chargebacks or good working disks.
I’m ordering Birds Birds Birds because it looks to me like it does something different than the Audubon Society VideoGuides, and I find that there is so much about birds to know that a lot of sources are not only helpful, but a necessity.

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.

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

I was very disappointed in this DVD. It was a DVD for someone who wanted only the very basic information on birds. The DVD was very short and could have added a lot of expanded details. The ability to view details of color and details of wing, tail bands, etc would have offered a much better learning tool. It also could have had the bird call longer throughout a longer display of bird colorations.
