This is a wonderful bird puzzle! Beautiful, charming, educational and delightful to work on and see each bird's expression emerge.
It is challenging in that there are a LOT of background pieces with no color clues or indication of which bird they are near. I'd suggest putting together the edges and then all the birds first, and only then taking on the large number of plain pieces.
Fortunately, there are two factors that make doing the background quite enjoyable: First, there is great variety in the shapes and no two will get close to fitting together unless they belong together; second, there are subtle but quite visible perpendicular lines throughout the puzzle so that each piece has only two possible directions (up or down!) rather than four. It was time-consuming but fun to divide the very many background pieces into categories according to shape before filling in all the background.
Thoroughly recommend this puzzle for interest, quality, learning and enjoyment!

Missing and extra pieces.
Reviewed in the United States on 8 February 2022Verified Purchase
Challenging puzzle which is the reason for the purchase BUT impossible with 3 missing pieces on the edge, a few interior also missing and at least one duplicate piece. Ordered as a Christmas gift and now too late to return since we didn’t start working on it immediately. Almost finished but why bother since it won’t be complete? Any way to get in touch with product manufacturer? Can’t find any contact info.

So many birds, so much variety
Reviewed in the United States on 13 September 2021Verified Purchase
I wish it had been a 750 piece puzzle or at least included the names as in the same-sized poster of the puzzle. There are a lot of white pieces and I'm doing it alone this time. More tedious than I had imagined. Very interesting to see the birds up close and in comparative sizes. A challenging puzzle!

Fun challenging puzzle
Reviewed in the United States on 9 September 2021Verified Purchase
I understand the other reviews for this puzzle. it's really fun but once you get all the birds done it gets complex.
luckily the negative space has some lines and not just plain white.
I personally loved the challenge. I do puzzles very often and I don't shy away from this one. I love birds as well so it was a match made in hobby-heaven.
if you do puzzles often and aren't afraid of a little challenge GET IT!

only wish they had given a listing of the birds in the picture and something about each one. But the time the puzzle is together, you know these birds well.
