Here's another book Pastor Allen cited in his Creation Sunday sermon. When I first began teaching in Christian schools, I actually had a collection of bird models crafted with feathers. I used them to teach object lessons in chapel, based on the character traits of each species. Doves, for example, have the messiest of nests, but they mate for life.
Here is the product description from Amazon.com:
"In this unique and intriguing book, John Stott takes seriously Jesus's exhortation in the Sermon on the Mount, 'Behold the fowls of the air' (Matt. 6:26 KJV). He reveals lessons on faith from the feeding of ravens, on repentance from the migration of storks, on freedom from the flight of the eagle, on joy from the song of the lark, and more. Stott humorously calls his work "an introduction to the science of orni-theology," for he combines information about birds with biblical truths and personal anecdotes in a way that will fascinate bird-lovers and Bible readers everywhere. The Birds, Our Teachers is lavishly illustrated with full-color photographs taken by the author in his travels around the world."
