The conclusion of the HANZAB series, a project which began 25 years ago, is a defining moment in the history of Australasian ornithology. With this seventh and final volume, the series provides a complete and comprehensive account of all 957 bird species in Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica.

The work describes in unsurpassed detail some 10% of all known bird species. HANZAB synthesises our knowledge of the abundance, habitat, behavior and morphology of all the bird species of the region.

The information on each species is presented in sections: field identification, habitat, distribution and population, movements, food, social organisation, social behaviour, voice, breeding, and plumages and external morphology. The accounts include black-and-white illustrations of behavioural postures and plumage features, maps showing breeding and non-breeding distribution, and sonagrams of calls and songs. Each account concludes with a full list of references.
