What Birdo Is That?

A Field Guide to Bird-people
Reveals how bird-people in Australia have gone about their craft across the years. The stories come from wild places - at sea as well as on the land - from dusty archives, from restoration projects, gardens and urban wastelands. They are human stories, but the birds themselves interject and interrupt any self-important anthropocentrism.

But together they form a conservation community that cares about the future of birds and their habitats, who are working to heal the damage wrought by those who don't notice birds.What Birdo is That? reveals how bird-people in Australia have gone about their craft across the years.
