Be delighted by some of the world’s most charismatic birds. This episode is about birds that have fun personalities and have a large impact on their environment, like the Victoria’s Riflebird, Paleated Woodpecker and Burrowing Owl.

Georgia Angus is an author and illustrator based in Naarm/Melbourne, living and working on the lands of the Wurundjeri people. Her first book '100 Australian Birds' was published in 2021. This book offers an introduction to birdwatching through illustrations, ecological information and anecdotal notes. Georgia wrote her book based on her own experiences as a budding birdwatcher, helping other beginners in their journey to learn more about some of Australia’s unique animals. Since then, she’s published a beginner’s guide to insects, and this year has come out with a third book called ‘Birds with Personality’.
