If you need to know something about Australian birds or the birds of New Zealand or Antarctica, the best place to look is the Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic Birds (HANZAB). This multi-award-winning encyclopaedia summarises huge tracts of knowledge about birds in the region.
Compiled by a dedicated team of ornithologists at Birds Australia (now BirdLife Australia), HANZAB has become a classic of modern ornithology. Originally published in book form, HANZAB is now available as a digital resource.
HANZAB is still a font of knowledge about the ecology, behaviour and morphology of each of the 1134 species recorded in our region — even extinct species, introduced birds and rare visitors to outlying islands are dealt with in detail in this easy to use website.
Have a say in BirdLife Australia’s governance through voting at our national AGM – or even standing for a position on our Board of Directors or local group committees.
Emu – Austral Ornithology is the premier journal for research and reviews on ornithological studies relating to the Southern Hemisphere and adjacent tropics.
Australian Birdlife is a quarterly magazine that's full of fascinating articles on birds and birdwatching, all illustrated with breathtaking photographs.
