The book focuses on the diverse avian life found in Egypt, particularly in the Nile Valley, offering descriptions and illustrations of the various species encountered there. Whymper aims to make the information accessible to general readers, especially travelers interested in identifying the birds they observe.  The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Egyptian birds, beginning with an anecdote about the significance of observing their flight patterns for identification. The author emphasizes the ease of spotting birds along the Nile due to their almost tame behavior, and provides a list of species commonly seen, such as Kites, Vultures, and various types of Owls. Whymper shares personal experiences and observations during his travels, including his time spent at significant locations such as the Sacred Lake at Karnak. This portion establishes the book's intent to be a practical guide for bird enthusiasts and travelers seeking to enrich their understanding of avian life in Egypt.
