Abstract
"Aboriginal peoples and birds in Australia: historical and cultural relationships" is a book that aims to raise awareness of the ornithological knowledge within indigenous Australian cultures. The book is organized into ten chapters that cover various aspects of the relationship between indigenous Australians and birds, including cultural perceptions, bird nomenclature, hunting and gathering, and birds as food and medicine. The author obtained information from publicly available accounts of indigenous culture to respect sacred knowledge. The book highlights the differences in how Aboriginal societies and Western science think about birds and emphasizes the importance of incorporating traditional ecological knowledge into the conservation of Australian wildlife.
