“Aviculture in Australia is the most ambitious and important book ever published on the subject.  Written for all classes of aviculturists this book is by far the most comprehensive, well reached and well produced aviary bird book yet published in Australia.  Most importantly it is written with the specific aim of dealing with the conditions and problems that Australian aviculturists face.  All aspects of bird keeping are covered and there is a complete species account of both Australian and foreign birds, including parrots, cockatoos, finches, softbills, quail, doves, pheasants and waterfowl.”
