Author Bio:
An 8-day walk in Southwest Tasmania in 2019 led founders Lez, Corka, Bez and Friendy to become trapped in the middle of relentless bad weather. Sheltering in a tiny Melaleuca hut all they had for entertainment was a regular 52 pack of playing cards which had bird photos on the back of each card. As they waited for the weather to clear, someone started spinning the Wedge-tailed Eagle card like a fidget spinner. Then came attempted bird song, then came the debates: which birds would win in a fight? Which ones were prized by twitchers? What birds had special powers? And just like that… the idea for Birds began to take flight. After four years and lots of finetuning, this accidental, storm-born game finally launched into the world. Now in its second edition, Birds has evolved into the charming board game you see today. A fun, multi-player game that raises awareness for all bird species.

* Aside from the well-known social benefits, just by playing birds you will become more aware and interested in natures bird life.
* Each game of Birds is vastly different and may become addictive to play. Annual Tournaments held by the founders exist in Hobart and Adelaide, with Sydney and Melbourne kicking off in 2026.
A Game Called Birds or ‘birds’ as it is known, is a lively game of strategy, sabotage and luck that celebrates Australian birdlife. It is a unique and independent board game designed in the deep south of Tasmania. The hand illustrated game features 70 superb species that each have their own unique values. There are plenty of twists to keep you on your toes, not least, the central spinning wedgie that will above all, decide your fate.

Australian Birds, their Nests and Eggs (Facsimile Edition)
A guide to the nests and eggs of Australian birds that are known to breed in Australia and on Australian offshore islands
By Gordon Beruldsen
First published in 1980, this 2004 edition is a thorough reference guide to nest and egg identification, with all new colour plates and much additional material. Shape, size, colour, number of eggs in a clutch - all help identify the bird to which the eggs belong. This book carries a strong message to respect the environment that is being explored and to leave the eggs and nests undisturbed. It is therefore a way for birdwatchers and ornithologists to gain a greater insight into Australian birds without actually having to get close to nests. This volume is a facsimile re-issue of the 2004 edition.
More Australian Birding Tales
A highly personal account of birding, life and travel in the Land Down Under
By R. Bruce Richardson
More Australian Birding Tales takes up where the author’s very successful first book, An Australian Birding Year, ended. In this new book Bruce Richardson describes his further birding adventures, which take his total life list from 672 to 759, well exceeding his initial target of 700 species. He glories in the fact that his birding trips take him to stunning parts of Australia that he wouldn’t normally have visited. He travels through the outback, takes the ferry over to Tasmania, makes several pelagic expeditions and goes on a memorable trip to Cocos/Keeling and Christmas Islands. He describes his travels with humour, and intersperses the ticks and the dips of birding with personal anecdotes of a life lived through good times and bad.

Deep Listening to Nature
By Andrew Skeoch
Beginning by tuning in to the sounds of creatures around us, Andrew discusses how to identify species by call, interpret their communications and find empathy for their sentence. Part reflection, part nature and travel diary, Andrew asks the question: What does listening reveal about how the living systems of nature function, and why do birds in particular negotiate their interactions in such lyrical and extraordinary ways? He concludes by suggesting we not only listen to learn about nature, but learn from nature. He asks how, in our current environmental crisis, we may mimic what the biosphere has achieved in sustaining life as we move toward an ecological future and in doing so, form a deeper and more personal connection to Country.
The Sting of the Wild
By Justin O. Schmidt
In The Sting of the Wild, the colorful Dr. Schmidt takes us on a journey inside the lives of stinging insects. He explains how and why they attack and reveals the powerful punch they can deliver with a small venom gland and a "sting," the name for the apparatus that delivers the venom. We learn which insects are the worst to encounter and why some are barely worth considering. Schmidt explains that, for some insects, stinging is used for hunting: small wasps, for example, can paralyze huge caterpillars for long enough to lay eggs inside them, so that their larvae emerge within a living feast. Others are used to kill competing insects, even members of their own species.
Chimpanzee Politics Power and Sex among Apes
By Frans de Waal
Featuring a new preface that includes recent insights from the author, this anniversary edition is a detailed and thoroughly engrossing account of sexual rivalries and coalitions, of actions governed by intelligence rather than instinct. As we watch the chimpanzees of Arnhem behave in ways we recognize from Machiavelli (and from the nightly news), de Waal reminds us again that the roots of politics are older than humanity. Even more enlightening than Machiavelli's The Prince, this book describes power takeovers and social organizations in a chimpanzee colony.

Why Whales Sing
By Eduardo Mercado
With breathtaking complexity and haunting beauty, the songs of whales have long fascinated scientists. Whales are the only mammals that can sing continuously for ten hours or more, changing the unique songs they sing every year. In Why Whales Sing, bio acoustician and cognitive scientist Eduardo Mercado transforms our understanding of these enigmatic sounds and proposes a groundbreaking theory that challenges decades of established science. Sophisticated, long-range sonar can enable whales to perceive their vast underwater worlds in unimaginable ways. From the military origins of whale song recordings to the persistent mysteries of cetacean communication, this book displays the wonder of whales and reshapes how we view their intelligence, behavior, and acoustic mastery.
Looking for Whales
By Wade Hughes, Robyn Hughes
Wade Hughes is a writer from W.A., an artist with the camera, who specialises in communicating, and with his wife Robyn has spent decades looking for whales. Their photos, mostly black and white, taken underwater and above, illustrate whales being themselves in the moods and phases of life: uncontrived and revealing views in their natural realm, with text evoking the insights each close encounter produces. Taking his camera into chilling Arctic waters during feeding season, to tropical Pacific atolls where calves are born, and the tempestuous mid-Atlantic off the Azores, Wade captures fascinating, elusive species in cycles of life and migration: Humpbacks, Sperm Whales, Fin Whales, Pilot Whales, Orcas and False Orcas.
