It is also a timely reminder of the diversity, beauty, and ingenuity of the avian world.","brand":"Rizzoli International Publications","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47567782084759,"sku":"9780847875900","price":2899.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780847875900.webp?v=1774863472","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bird-nest-egg-the-homes-of-forty-extraordinary-species-9780847875900","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
