About this book
The discussion of bird-study says the book should help popularize the subject and spread knowledge of common birds among the people. The writer urges the use of suitable names that a poet or a child can use, and asks how an Australian bard can sing of The Red-rumped Acanthiza.
The account records the rare Rock Parrot nesting in the edges and hollows of Goat Island, a tiny travertine-limestone island in the Great Australian Bight. The eggs lay on bare earth, often within two or three feet of the high-tide mark, on an island less than an acre in extent. The Swift-flying Lorikeet is described as a honey feeder often found with the other lorikeets mentioned in the account.
