The idea that a bird is good news and needs all our support is
probably the only thing amateur birdos, professional zoologists and
'birdscapers'—people who redesign their gardens to support
birdlife—have in common. 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. Its 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. They
educate. They counter the imperialism of the ever-expanding
economies of the new millennium. They turn up in unexpected places,
giving surprise and joy. This field guide to Australia's
bird-people provides a basis for understanding the complex
relationship between people and birds in a land of extremes at the
forefront of changing climate and habitats.
