I cam across this whilst browsing The Age the other day – http://www.fightdementia.org.au/bird-watching-in-my-back-yard-ebook.aspx – sounds as thought it might be a good way to get young kids interested in birding and also raise money for charity as well. ===============================

Several people who’d been ill and unable to move about much told me that Birds of Australia’s Top End had not only helped them learn about their yard birds, but provided them with a laugh or two!
For example my husband, Hilary, and I raised a Blue-faced Honeyeater nestling. The damned thing peeped over three million times in the three weeks we had it. So we named it Trevor, after the then Commissioner for Taxation.
