About The Author

Grainne Cleary

Gráinne was born with a passion and a curiosity for the natural world. In 2008 after graduating with a PhD from Trinity College Dublin, Gráinne moved to Australia where she immediately fell in love with the wildlife. Throughout her career, Gráinne has worked in universities and conservation bodies in both Europe and Australia. Her research is focused on engaging with the public through citizen science to gain the best outcomes for urban birds. Gráinne is a frequent contributor on both national and regional radio where she discusses bird-related news. She is also a regular on the Channel Seven morning show Sunrise.

Gráinne believes our behaviour can have a huge influence on urban birds and how they can use our gardens as a refuge in otherwise inhospitable environment. Following the release of her bestselling book Why Do Birds Do That? Gráinne was inspired to write Why Do Birds Sing? due to the public fascination with this question.
