Discover the fascinating world of the Australian brush turkeys with ecologist Dr. Ann Goth on how to coexist with them in your backyard.
About this Event

The Australian brush-turkey (Alectura lathami) will never fail to surprise with their unique breeding and child-rearing tactics. While some residents may not appreciate their garden-digging habits, Dr. Ann Goth’s presentation aims to help the community better understand these native birds who have their breeding season in August.

She will share fascinating insights about these birds’ behaviour and offer practical tips on safeguarding your garden.

At the end of the talk, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase a copy of Ann’s books.

Light refreshments will be served.


About the presenter

Dr. Ann Göth is an ecologist, science teacher, public speaker and passionate writer. She is the author of two books on Australian brush-turkeys, one for adults (Amazing Annoying Birds) and one for kids (Bush-turkey Needs a Friend). Her previous book, Volcanic Adventures in Tonga, is a vivid account of her very first adventure as a conservation ecologist.

Ann started her writing career in 2008 as coauthor of Moundbuilders, a book about megapode birds in Australia. Her career has taken her from Austria to islands in Tonga, the UN in Geneva and to universities, government agencies and schools in Australia. Ann’s writing reflects a strong passion to bring natural history and conservation issues closer to non-scientists and scientists alike.

In partnership with the North Sydney Council Bushland Management team.
