William T. Cooper AO (1934–2015) originally painted landscapes and seascapes but turned to painting birds because of a lifelong love of natural history. He collaborated on many bird monographs with Joseph M. Forshaw.

In 1990, William was awarded the Philadelphia Academy of Science (USA) Gold Medal, and in 1994 he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for his contribution to art and to ornithology. A collection of his original paintings is owned by the National Library of Australia and many others are in private collections around the world.

If you are interested &/or passionate about Australia's native bird life you can't go past this book on pigeons and doves. Joseph Forshaw, the ornithologist, provides very detailed information regarding the life cycle and geographic distribution of each bird, just to name two aspects - he also discusses the breeding and care of these birds in captivity. William T. Cooper, the artist, illustrates Australian birds like no other artist (no exaggeration) - the images he produces are so life-like and vivid. There is another book which specifically focuses on the artwork of Mr Cooper (author: Penny Olsen) - the forward to this book is written by none other than David Attenborough, who has nothing but praise for the work of Mr Cooper - but I digress. I give this book on native pigeons and doves a score of 12 out of 10.
