Wild Neighbours: Urban Nature Up Close

BY Ann Goth and Darryl Jones

Raucous galahs, secretive blue-tongues and landscaping brushturkeys share our towns and suburbs. And to make a life in the city, they’ve learned to be flexible, resilient and street-smart. They’ve transformed neighbourhoods into living, breathing ecosystems, places where wildness hasn’t vanished, but simply moved in.

If you’ve ever wondered why magpies sing in duets, how cockatoos learned to open bins or why koalas sleep so much, Wild Neighbours will help you understand the habits, personalities, quirks, ingenuity and everyday dramas of the animals and plants that live among us.

It’s time to get to know the neighbours.
