Product Overview
Everybody knows some of the more common Australian birds. But the black-faced cuckoo-shrike, and the koel, when they fly into the suburbs? The red-tipped pardalote disappearing in a hole in a gum-tree, the little brown rock-warbler, the minute thornbills? These provide the fascinating problems of identification that for 35 years since it was first published have sent Australians to this book for the answer. The book also presents information on many subjects related to indtification. Where is this or that bird found? What is the nature of its voice? What type of nest does it built? Is it a migrant, a nomad, or a stayput ? How do various species fit into the country's economy?
