Many a bird is quite a flighty fellow. We hear them whistle or trumpet, chirp, sing out, or trill, but we rarely get to observe them at leisure—unless the robin graciously accepts your mealworms or the titmice are out on a family outing. Otherwise, however, the birds in our gardens like to trill from the dense foliage of trees or hedges before swiftly taking to the skies again—too fast for our searching eyes.

Perhaps you’d like to simply listen to the evening concert of your chirping garden guests while working on a puzzle that brings these regular choir members to life before your eyes. The detailed, lifelike illustrations in this puzzle can serve as a reliable guide. Founded in 2011, the Danish family-owned company Koustrup focuses on meticulous illustrations that combine expertise with aesthetics, and collaborates with cultural institutions and scientists. So while you indulge in the patient search for the right match among the 1,000 puzzle pieces, the images in the puzzle will familiarize you in detail with the distinctive features of some garden birds: for example, the bright rose-red breast of the bullfinch, the starling’s pale, speckled plumage, the black-and-red facial mask of the goldfinch—which is just taking flight from a thistle flower—or the distinctive cap on the head of the coal tit, which has made itself comfortable on a fir branch.
