The Australian Bird Guide
Australia’s most comprehensive field guide to birdlife.
The Australian Bird Guide is the definitive reference for birders seeking depth and detail.
Covering over 900 species and distinctive subspecies recorded across Australia and its external territories, this guide brings together extensive species accounts, updated distribution maps, and highly detailed commissioned artwork.
With more than 4,700 colour illustrations, it supports careful identification and a deeper understanding of behaviour, variation, and habitat. Where The Compact Australian Bird Guide offers speed and portability, this edition provides scope and substance.
Published by CSIRO Publishing and developed by leading Australian ornithologists and artists, it reflects current taxonomy and is widely regarded as one of the most respected field guides of its kind.
A considered addition for those wanting to move beyond quick identification and into deeper learning.
