A Mouthful of Birds is a short story anthology with no concrete answers and leaves you with more questions than you had beforehand. There were a few stories I prefered in this set including:
- Headlights
- Butterflies
- Mouthful of Birds
- The Test
- My Brother Walter
Butterflies was the best story in my opinion, I felt there was so much detail tucked into such a short story but it felt as though I had read a whole novel by the time I got to the end of this one. Other stories were a little bit more disapointing, such as Preserves, mainly due to the content just not making sense at the conclusion of the story. It was so left field that it didn't make sense at all. 

Moving onto overall impressions. I feel the author did a lot with such short stories. Despite most of the events feeling as though they could be grounded in our reality, there was always that element of somthing supernatural and other worldly. 
Being left without clear answers to the strangeness that was going on in these tales was interesting and left me thinking about some of them long after I had finished reading them. 

While I am not the biggest fan of anthologies, this one was one of the better ones I have read. I would recommend this for anyone who loves the supernatural and the unclear, but also for people who only like to read in short bursts as the stories in this are quite easily readable in bite sized chunks.
