Darryl Jones, author of Feeding the Birds at Your Table, reveals the not-so-secret lives of the most common birds that share our towns and cities. Despite the noise, heat, dust and fumes, the ceaseless movement, light and toxins, many birds successfully live their lives among us. And not just furtively in the shadows. Ibis steal our lunch, brush-turkeys rearrange gardens and magpies chase us from near their nest. From blackbirds and sparrows in his childhood country town to brush-turkeys in the suburbs, Darryl Jones shares a fascinating story of curiosity, discovery, adventure and conflict, played out in the streets and backyards of Australia. He also provides rare insights into the intimate lives of some of our most beloved and feared, despised and admired neighbours. Magpies, curlews, ibis, lorikeets and cockatoos will never seem the same again. 'What happens when nature comes to town? Darryl Jones has written a witty, rollicking account of his encounters with the ingenious creatures that make our urban homes their own. A wild, wonderful journey in the spirit of Gerald Durrell, unexpected and delightful, full of insight, humour and humility. Anyone who loves birds, nature and superb storytelling will love this book!' – Jennifer Ackerman, author of The Genius of Birds 'As rare a delight as the urban curlews of the title, this is a thoroughly enjoyable account of the value that all birds, even the common ones we see every day, bring to our lives. We often talk about why birds matter. Darryl Jones shows how even backyard birds have the capacity to enrich and bring wonder to our lives.' – Sean Dooley, author of The Big Twitch 'Darryl Jones confirms what many people suspect, that ecologists lead fun lives.' – Tim Low, author of Where Song Began

Interested in birds but don't know where to start? Overwhelmed by the bird guides? Want to know more about the birds you see around you? Then this is the book for you! Getting to Know the Birds in Your Neighbourhood is the first complete beginners' field guide to the birds you are most likely to see in the towns and cities of Australia. Much more than an identification tool, though, it opens the door to understanding the habits and behaviours of your suburb's feathered locals. It's also easy to understand, friendly, and packed full of information about these urban birds; and offers tips and suggestions on how to enjoy, protect and encourage more birds into your area. And one of the best features is that it works just as well in Cairns, Perth and Hobart as it does in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. So come and meet the neighbours. 'Beware! This book will make you addicted to birding. An absolute ripper.' -- Costa Georgiadis 'Many people have a 'spark bird' that ignites a lifelong love for birds. This could be a book that sparks a love of birds for a new generation.' -- Sean Dooley, BirdLife Australia

Darryl Jones is fascinated by bird feeders. Not the containers supplying food to our winged friends, but the people who fill the containers, scatter the crumbs or seeds, or leave the picnic scraps behind for the birds. Here, Jones takes us on a wild flight through the history of bird feeding as he ponders this odd but seriously popular form of interaction between humans and wild animals. Jones digs at the deeper issues and questions of the practice of bird feeding, as he raises our awareness of the things we don't yet know and why we really should. This beautifully written and engaging books reveals that what at first seems to be a niche topic 7 humans feeding wild birds 7 is in fact something a disproportionate number of us do. Half the citizens of Australia, the UK, and the US feed birds, whether its by planting trees that attract them, putting food out on apartment balconies, setting up birds baths and feeders, or by unwittingly leaving scraps behind in parks. The international bird seed industry is huge and most of the seed is gown in India or Africa. Another way of describing all this activity is as an unplanned ecological experiment on an unbelievably large scale. In The Birds at My Table, Jones draws on an impressive knowledge of the latest scientific findings as well as his own personal knowledge, to reflect and explain the modern practice of bird feeding.

Mound-builders are unique in being the only birds that do not incubate their eggs using body heat; rather, a variety of naturally occurring sources of heat is exploited such as solar energy and the heat generated by decomposing organic matter. This book shows how this remarkable adaptation influences every part of these birds’ lives, including the development of the embryo, the parentless life of the hatchlings, their social organisation and their survival. Twenty-two species of mound-builders exist within the Megapode family. Mound-builders examines the three occurring in Australia: the Scrubfowl in the humid tropics; the Brush turkey in dense forested areas from Cape York to Sydney; and most remarkable of all, the Malleefowl in the arid interior. Scientific interest in these birds has increased considerably in recent decades, and Mound-builders summarises many significant discoveries. With a strong emphasis on conservation and changing interactions between mound-builders and people, this is an excellent introduction to one of the most unusual bird families.
