Australia is blessed with an abundance of birds. These are seen in all habitats, with a surprising number found in town and city environments. This book is a complete guide to the most common urban and suburban birds of Australia. More than 100 species are featured each with its own page or spread with information on where they are found, their behaviour, and tips for watching them in urban habitats.The birds featured in this book from a variety of ducks and parrots, to honeyeaters and finches can be seen widely in towns and cities.

Some inhabit local bushland, parks and creeks, making regular forays into urban settings. Others are completely urbanised, living in built-up neighbourhoods, and can be encountered perching on power lines, raiding bins, calling from roof tops, bathing in gutters, feeding on chips and harassing bike riders.This book takes a detailed look at Australia s unique and diverse urban birdlife and includes sections on how to attract birds in towns and cities and the joys of urban birdwatching. Illustrated with superb photos, this guide will help the reader to find and identify these wonderful, feathered creatures. In short, it s a must have for all nature enthusiasts living in towns and cities.
