Review
"If you carry only one field guide [to Australia], take the Pizzey." (American Birds)
"If you are planning to go to Australia, you must take this book!... For those who plan to stay behind, I recommend this book.... The birds are presented in a familiar, matter-of-fact format and ... their splendor comes through." (Florida Naturalist)
