An up-to-date, fully illustrated monograph on all Australian species of grassfinches.
Pigeons and Doves in Australia
Possibly the most successful urban birds, pigeons and doves in the Order Columbiformes are one of the most easily recognised groups. They are an ancient and very successful group with an almost worldwide distribution and are most strongly represented in tropical and subtropical regions, including Australia. In most species simple plumage patterns feature mainly grey and brown with black, white or dull reddish markings, but the highly colourful fruit-doves include some of the most beautiful of all birds. From dense rainforests of north Queensland, where brilliantly plumaged Superb Fruit-Doves Ptilinopus superbus are heard more easily than seen, to cold, windswept heathlands of Tasmania, where...
Quail, Buttonquail and Plains-wanderer in Australia and New Zealand
Although not closely related, quail, buttonquail and the Plains-wanderer have much in common. Quail, Buttonquail and Plains-wanderer in Australia and New Zealand examines 14 species of these small, secretive ground-dwelling birds, including Old World and New World quail, the endangered Buff-breasted Buttonquail, the elusive Plains-wanderer and the extinct New Zealand Quail. Joseph Forshaw presents a comprehensive review of recent studies for these often hard to observe birds. Detailed species descriptions include key features, habitat, status, diet and breeding, along with information on eggs, calls and distribution. Each species is fully illustrated with exquisite colour identification plates by renowned wildlife artist Frank Knight. This is an essential reference for anyone fascinated by these elusive birds.
A Century of Parrots
This book tells the story of the trappers, dealers aand smugglers, also the collectors, who contributed to the decline of so many parrot species. However, during the last two decades of the 20th century countless parrot conservation projects and field studies were initiated. Conservation education programmes and parrot eco-tourism also played their part in arousing awareness of the value of parrots and forests in native people. Significant advances in knowledge of parrot biology and conservation had been made. And species were discovered that were previously unknown to science. During the course of the century the profile of parrots was raised from bird-brained mimics to avian masterminds; furthermore, as flagship species of the tropics, the presence of macaws and other parrots was protecting thousands of square miles of rainforest. Pretty Polly was at last being taken seriously!
