The little series by the Gould League of 7 volumes is great for that. Volume
1 is "Urban Areas". Except that it is now very dated and bird populations of
some species has changed. Volume 1 shows as 1969 (unless it has been
reissued). The Rainbow Lorikeet is only mentioned as "Accidental", the
rarest category. Volume 7 "Farmlands" shows as 1983.

Hi
I am involved with a local (west of Melbourne) landcare group and they are
currently doing some re-vegetation work. The plants for this are being grown
at a local prison and the group is making a presentation about the project
to the prisoners in the near future. They want to talk about the importance
of the project to the local bird life and to present the prisoners with a
couple of bird books for their library.
The normal guides (e.g. Pizzey) are probably not very appropriate for the
intended audience, so I have been asked to find out if there is a guide to
Victorian birds that may be more suitable - anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Dave
