Try also older copies of Neville Cayley's 'What Bird is That'.
It has lots of brilliant information lost in the filed guide format, such as
local names, aboriginal names, etc.,
Any second hand bookstore will have three or more!

I was wondering if anyone had any books or references of any indigenous
names for the Grey Currawong. HANZAB has a whole bunch at the back of the
volume but absolutely no information on where they are from. Any pointers
much appreciated.
I am also still lacking a photo of the black winged and kangaroo island if
anyone has one and wants to see it grace the wikipedia page (but it means a
commercial copyright release)
Finally, I have seen two intriguing mentions of white birds:
Title: White phase of the grey currawong?
Author(s): Whiteford, Ross
Source: Bird Observer (Nunawading) Volume: 757 Pages: 15 Published: October
1995
And
Title: Albino grey currawong.
Author(s): Wall, L.
Source: Tasmanian Naturalist Pages: 11 Published: 1989
Neither of which I have easy access to. I'd be grateful if anyone had these
on their shelves at home for a quick note to say what was found.
Cheers
