The high time-resolution radio sky represents unexplored
astronomical territory. This thesis presents a study of the
transient radio sky, focussing on millisecond scales. As such, the
work is concerned primarily with neutron stars. In particular this
research concentrates on a recently identified group of neutron
stars, known as RRATs, which exhibit radio bursts every few minutes
to every few hours. After analysing neutron star birthrates, a
re-analysis of the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey is described
which has resulted in the discovery of 19 new transient radio
sources. Of these, 12 have been seen to repeat and a follow-up
campaign of observations has been undertaken. These studies have
greatly increased our knowledge of the rotational properties of
RRATs and enable us to conclude that they are pulsars with extreme
nulling and/or pulse-to-pulse modulation. Although the evolution of
neutron stars post-supernova is not yet understood, it seems that
RRATs fit into the emerging picture in which pulsar magnetospheres
switch between stable configurations.
