An Incomplete Dictionary of Show Birds’ is a book by photographer Luke Stephenson.

This unique project documents the very British subject of show birds through a series of meticulous and striking photographs.

“The project began with a very simple idea, that I wanted to photograph budgies. I met a great deal of people who were very knowledgeable about their hobby and only too happy to share it with me. Their enthusiasm became infectious so that by simply photographing a species I felt I was adding it to my collection.”
