Here is what this book makes me think of: birds were just SUCH a huge part of ancient life. Birds could tell the future and predict the weather, they were used to cure ills and for the feasting table. It's astonishing how much there is to know about how birds over the years! It makes me think about what life was like before "science," before we humans understood how things worked around us - without that knowledge, looking to the natural world for information makes perfect sense!
It's a bit dry and its definitely a niche topic. But I'm not sorry I read it because I feel like I gained such an interesting perspective of the lives of the early Irish as well as the early Irish world.
