A comprehensive practical guide to the art and science of keeping and breeding birds in captivity, Aviculture in Australia: Keeping and Breeding Aviary Birds instructs both novice and experienced aviculturists on the full spectrum of aviary management within the Australian context. Mark Shephard presents detailed guidance on housing design, nutrition, breeding techniques, and the health care of a wide variety of aviary species, including native Australian parrots, finches, and softbills. Written with an authoritative yet accessible tone, the text illustrates best practices for creating thriving aviaries while also addressing the legal and ethical responsibilities that come with keeping native and exotic birds. Shephard argues for a thoughtful, species-sensitive approach to aviculture, grounding his recommendations in both practical experience and a deep respect for animal welfare. This is an indispensable reference for anyone serious about the rewarding pursuit of bird keeping in Australia.
