Professor of Ecology at Griffith University and Author Darryl Jones has joined Deborah Knight to discuss his latest book that reveals the real lives of birds!

Darryl Jones reveals the not-so-secret lives of the most common birds that share our towns and cities and where they adapt to make themselves at home.

Curlews on Vulture Street provides a rare insight into the intimate lives of some of our most beloved, feared, despised and admired neighbours.

Mr Jones told Deborah Knight after reading his book, you’ll never see magpies, curlews, ibis, lorikeets and cockatoos in the same way again.

“One of the secrets to success, if you’re an urban animal, is to eat anything and procure.”
