Excerpt from Some Useful Australian Birds In the Agricultural Gazette of New South Wales, of January, 1896, the late Mr. A. J. North, Ornithologist to the Australian Museum, commenced a series of papers under the title of 14 A List of the Insectivorous Birds of New South Wales," which appeared at irregular intervals in 1896, 1897, 1900, 1901, 1902, and 1905. The list comprised brief descriptions of 160 birds, and was illustrated with a number of lithographic plates in colours. Three parts were afterwards issued separately, but such was the demand that the supply was soon exhausted. So many inquiries were made concerning the articles that it was decided to issue a second series. The editor at that time of the Agricultural Gazette, Mr. J. E. O'Grady, undertook the work of the letterpress and the plates were copied from the figures in Gould's great folio work "Handbook of the Birds of Australia" and reproduced by the three-colour process. This series commenced in the April number of the Gazette, 1910. In 1912 Mr. O'Grady severed his connection with the Department of Agriculture, and I was asked to supply the letterpress and supervise the preparation of the plates of this second series. October, 1915, saw the conclusion of the series, designed at that period for republishing in the form of a bulletin. The conditions affecting the output of all publications during the war period has deferred their reappearance until now. To make the work uniform I have added a chapter on bird protection and allied questions, and have rewritten the letterpress contributed in the first place by Mr. O'Grady. The plates for the present work were printed at the same time as those for the Agricultural Gazette some years ago, and the names (popular and specific) were worked at the same time. It has been deemed advisable in the letterpress, however, to adopt in some cases a later nomenclature. The popular and scientific name of each species, and the page reference to Gould's "Handbook of the Birds of Australia" (a standard authority) has been given; and for the field naturalist, for whom this book has been chiefly prepared, a reference to Leach's "Bird Book" has also been added. Among the works consulted in the compilation of this book, the following may be mentioned in particular : - "Nests and Eggs of Australian Birds" (A. J. Campbell), vols. 1-11, 1901; "The Useful Birds of Southern Australia" (Robert Hall), 1907; "Key to the Birds of Australia and Tasmania" (Robert Hall), 1899; "Wanderings of a Bush Naturalist" (J. Wheel right), 1861: "Handbook of the Birds of Australia" (J. Gould), vol. 1-11, 1865; "Voyage to New South Wales" (John White), 1790, in which a number of plates of birds are given with brief descriptions; "Birds of New Holland" (John Lewin), 1822, in which hand-coloured plates of many of our birds are given; "An Australian Bird Book" (Dr. J. A Leach, 1911), a pocket-book for field use; "Nests and Eggs of Birds found Breeding in Australia and Tasmania" (A. J. North), 1889, catalogue No. 12, Australian Museum.

First published in 1994, The Complete Guide to Finding the Birds of Australia was the first ever book of its type in Australia – a complete guide to locating every resident bird species in Australia, plus supplementary information on where to find rarities, migratory species and logistical information. This fully revised second edition expands on the best-selling appeal of the first, describing the best-known sites for all of Australia’s endemic birds, plus vagrants and regular migrants such as seabirds and shorebirds. It covers all states and territories, and is the first guide to include all of Australia’s island and external territories. A comprehensive Bird Finder Guide details site information on all Australian bird species, and the authors provide valuable travel advice, including transport, climate and accommodation. Profusely illustrated with colour photographs of interesting, unique or unusual Australian birds, this book is a must-have for all birdwatchers living in Australia or visiting from overseas.

Australian Bird Names is aimed at anyone with an interest in birds, words, or the history of Australian biology and bird-watching. It discusses common and scientific names of every Australian bird, to tease out the meanings, which may be useful, useless or downright misleading! The authors examine every species: its often many-and-varied common names, its full scientific name, with derivation, translation and a guide to pronunciation. Stories behind the name are included, as well as relevant aspects of biology, conservation and history. Original descriptions, translated by the authors, have been sourced for many species. As well as being a book about names this is a book about the history of ever-developing understandings of birds, about the people who contributed and, most of all, about the birds themselves.

The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2020 is the most comprehensive review of the status of Australia's avifauna ever attempted. The latest in a series of action plans for Australian birds that have been produced every decade since 1992, it is also the largest. The accounts in this plan have been authored by more than 300 of the most knowledgeable bird experts in the country, and feature far more detail than any of the earlier plans. This volume also includes accounts of over 60 taxa that are no longer considered threatened, mainly thanks to sustained conservation action over many decades. This extensive book covers key themes that have emerged in the last decade, including the increasing impact of climate change as a threatening process, most obviously in Queensland's tropical rainforests where many birds are being pushed up the mountains. However, the effects are also indirect, as happened in the catastrophic fires of 2019/20. Many of the newly listed birds are subspecies confined to Kangaroo Island, where fire destroyed over half the population. But there are good news stories too, especially on islands where there have been spectacular successes with predator control. Such uplifting results demonstrate that when action plans are followed by action on the ground, threatened species can indeed be recovered and threats alleviated.
