Adivipittala Maha Aatalapoteelu  (Telugu, Paperback, Shamim Padamsee)

This is a sequel to Birdywood Buzz: Return of the Vulture. The birds are gathering in Birdywood for The Great Birdywood Games and birds are coming in from all over the world to participate in events that will decide who flies fastest and highest, and who is strongest. Amid much drama and tweeting and chirping, old records are smashed and new champions emerge and are crowned by chief guest Mor Khan. This cool take on the Olympic Games is no less than the real games and features nearly 40 birds. The art is well researched and captures the liveliness of the action and the character of the birds. The two books together are a wonderful introduction to birdlife.
