Product Description

Product Description

There are over 700 species of birds in Australia, and this book provides an introduction to the major groups, with an emphasis on those that the amateur naturalist and nature-lover is most likely to see. The book is organized into six sections which cover birds of prey, waders and waterbirds, seabirds, songbirds, pigeons and parrots and other birds. Information is organized simply, with individual species or group entries describing key characteristics - where they are found, food requirements and behavioural habits. Each entry is accompanied by a colour photograph and, where appropriate, distribution maps. A key feature of the text is the "gee whiz" spreads which answer many of the most commonly asked questions about why birds do what they do, revealing facts and providing practical information for the amateur enthusiast. In addition, fact panels interspersed throughout highlight surprising snippets of information. The book aims to heighten the reader's interest in the natural world.

2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading (Amazon) Title, 26 Jul 2009
By Stuart A. Orr "SAO" (Frankfurt) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not a book describing the common birds of Australia and in fact that is not the real title. It is simply called 'Birds of Australia'. It briefly describes less than 50 of the 800 or so Australian species. These descriptions only occupy a quarter of the book. It is, as the product description says, a book designed to answer common questions about birds and heighten people's interest. The questions are of the type, 'why do birds sing' and 'are Australia's pigeons safe from extinction'. Well written and meets its aim but do not buy this thinking that it is a cut down field guide descrbing the common birds of Australia. You will be disappointed.
