A Beautiful Inexpensive Gift That Will Go On Giving
A beautifully illustrated presentation in which the author draws upon the unique behaviour characteristics of some of Australia’s popular birds and integrates these with important life skills, to encourage us all to do life better. This is a book for all ages but is targeting ages 8 to 12 years. It is also ideal for parents to read and discuss with their younger children. Over 100 colour bird photos, some quite unique and rare captures, set in a 72 page presentation with easy reading text in glossy, soft covered A4 format.

The author and his wife are both avid ‘recreational birders’ This interest integrated with the author’s family counselling studies, fulfills his desire to encourage and build into the lives of our youth, so that they can make healthy life choices and do life well.

We bought your book at the Oatley West School festival last Sunday and think it is the perfect gift for our 9 year old granddaughter as she chooses which traits she wants to live by and can remember them in relationship to birds. I wonder how many of the birds she can find in the Adelaide Hills!

Thanks Deanna I do hope the book blesses your granddaughter. Many of the birds are found in the Adelaide area. We love the Adelaide Hills area for birding, especially the Laratinga Wetlands at Mt Barker, this is a great place for a family picnic. I blogged it and gave their council a thumbs up in 2013. There are Superb Fairy-wrens relatives to the Splendids in the book, Rainbow Lorikeets, Rainbow Bee-eaters in the summer months, maybe Kookaburras,New Holland Honeyeater, Barn Owl,both Wedge-tailed and White-bellied Sea Eagles sometimes, Nankeen Kestrel, Silver Gull, and on the coast the Pacific Gull (which is found down in SA), Australian Raven, Southern ‘white-backed’ Magpie (in the book is our Eastern ‘Black-backed’ Magpie), Peaceful Dove, Black-winged Stilt (wetlands), Red-necked Avocet (wetlands), Glossy Ibis (wetlands), Royal Spoonbill (wetlands), Sacred Kingfisher (wetlands), White-faced Heron (wetlands & coast), Pelican (wetlands and coast), Golden Whistler, and of course Willy Wagtail (this is often the first bird we see when we travel to any state in Australia). Hope this is helpful. A good gift to follow the book is a pair of binoculars (even a children’s pair), though good ones will last them for life. We gave daughters grandchildren a pair each before they traveled around Australia last year, it is great to encourage them to be ‘mindful’ of what is around them, which is often missed and not appreciated by many. Binoculars take birdwatching to another level of appreciation. Enjoy your week:-)

I recently received your book “What Birds Teach Us” and just wanted to thank you for creating such a wonderful book. The photographs are amazing and beautiful. It’s such a clever idea you had to highlight particular traits of each of the birds included and find parallels in our own lives. We can definitely all learn something from these marvellous creatures. This is certainly a book I will treasure and look forward to sharing with the grandkids when they come to visit. Thanks again.
