The following books are available from leading Bookstores.

Section One: Interesting Books: recent bird research on bird behaviour and bird neurology;

Section Two: Reference Books: helpful books for identifying and finding Australian birds.


Section One

Please note that as a Creationist I do not support the assumptions in these books with references to the Evolutionary hypothesis (and their millions of years) which several authors postulate and haggle over, but only the true science from true research and observations which has been carried out and reported in these books and which is quite interesting for all birders.  Also note that material in each of the following books is sometimes repeated and referred to in the other books as these authors share research and sometimes study together.

Australia,s birds and how they changed the world.
