In January 2023 Birds Queensland began publishing volume 50 of The Sunbird journal.
This begins a process where all articles will be released individually when they become available – there will be no issues with a collection of articles.

Correction
We are sorry to say that the initial copies of Sunbird contained an incorrect attribution of authors to the Wet Tropics chapter. The actual authors were Peter Valentine and Emily Rush, to whom we sincerely apologise.
If you previously downloaded a copy of the entire issue, or the “Wet Tropics” article, then please update them. The PDFs available here were corrected on 30th March 2023.
