Handbook of Australian, New Zealand & Antarctic Birds is an authoritative scientific reference that presents exhaustive species treatments across seven core volumes issued in nine physical books, with Volume 1: Rarities to Ducks, Part A: Ratites to Petrels; Part B: Australian Pelican to Ducks; Volume 2: Raptors to Lapwings; Volume 3: Snipe to Pigeons; Volume 4: Parrots to Dollarbird; Volume 5: Tyrant-Flycatchers to Chats; Volume 6: Pardalotes to Shrike-Thrushes; and Volume 7: Boatbill to Starlings, Part A: Boatbill to Larks; Part B: Dunnock to Starlings. This ornithological reference chronicles taxonomy, distribution, identification, behaviour, and ecology for every recorded species in the region. It details plumage sequences, measurements, vocalisations, breeding biology, movements, and feeding ecology while supplying range maps, annotated bibliographies and authoritative plates and illustrations. Each species account presents diagnostic characters, comparable species and practical field-identification guidance suitable for museum work and serious field study. The editorial team marshals decades of primary observations and literature to argue for taxonomic placements and to record historical and contemporary occurrence data. Compiled under the editorship of Marchant, Higgins and specialist contributors, the set functions as both an advanced field manual and a museum-grade reference for curators, researchers and collectors. This HANZAB set constitutes an indispensable acquisition for professional ornithologists, conservation practitioners and rare-book libraries seeking definitive, long-term scholarly value.
