Magpie Alert Excitement


We recently included a short booklist in the September issue of Wingspan, Birds Australia's full-colour, quarterly membership magazine. As part of this promotion we are offering a free copy of Magpie alert: learning to live with a wild neighbour by Darryl Jones with every order from this insert. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the Australian magpie and has been very well received by customers, as can be seen from the following email received from Helen. For more information on Magpie Alert click here. To view the insert included in the September issue of Wingspan click here.

Hi there, Jane and others at AINHB,
I was thrilled to get my free and totally unexpected copy of 'Magpie Alert'!
Although I had seen it in your list, and LOVE to watch magpies, I didn't think the book would interest me. Well, how wrong can you be? No book ever answers all your questions I suppose, but it was fascinating to learn that females whose partners had been translocated were joined so quickly by a new male, and to find out about the specialist cyclist/postie/pedestrian magpies, the safe distances from the nesting tree and, and, and .
Thanks again, it was a lovely gift. I'm now devouring my equally exciting pigeon book. Helen
