In addition to the cool jazz interpretations, each recording features a brief interlude in which that birds call or song is featured so that the listener can hear the references and interpretations more clearly.

Both Dahan and Ferry authored the albums liner note essays. Also featured in the packaging are beautiful photographs of various birds by noted bird photographer, Gail DuBois.
