Message: <blockquote data-quote="Björn Bergenholtz" data-source="post: 3426717" data-attributes="member: 113430">I would suggest you do a second try compiling a list of birds you want/hope to write about. With such a list it´ll be far more easier to get a response on what stories are worth telling. As of now, leaving it open it´s simply too many birds (several hundreds if not thousands) and far too many stories (just about as many) to pick among to have anyone doing it for you. And we don´t know what you find interesting. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Do a list five times longer than what you expect to include in your book, and maybe you will end up with enought "good ones".I wish I could help you more (being a Author, also of Childrens books, myself) but I´m too busy with my own books.Good luck! BjörnPS. See you in other threads! Who knows they might turn out to be what your looking for? One other idea would be to start reading the older posts in this Forum. There´s quite a lot of good stories there.PPS. "Klaas's" name was neither that, nor "Niklaas perhaps, or Nicolaas". See Post #1, in the link you quoted. His native original name is unknown. He was called "Klaas" simply because Levaillant found his name impossible to articulate.--</blockquote>
