The interesting subject of how birds live and behave has more often been the topic of detailed scientific articles in professional journals.  At last here is a book which removes the academic obscurity of such articles and tells the general reader about the different ways that birds live in Australia.  It is a book therefore which is concerned both with ornithology - the study of birds - and ecology - the relationship between organisms and their environment."
