"Oiseaux Dorés ou à Reflets Métalliques, I. Histoire Naturelle et Générale des Colibris, Oiseaux-Mouches, Jacamars et Promérops. II. Des Grimperaux et des Oiseaux de Paradis" is a seminal work of ornithology by the French naturalist and painter Jean-Baptiste Audebert (1759–1800). Published posthumously in 1802, the two-volume set is renowned for its detailed descriptions and exquisite illustrations of hummingbirds, jacamars, honeyeaters, creepers, and birds of paradise. Audebert's work represents a significant contribution to the natural history of these birds, many of which were little known in Europe at the time.

The first volume, dedicated to hummingbirds and their kin, provides a comprehensive account of the species known during Audebert's lifetime, including their natural history, behavior, and distribution. The second volume focuses on the creepers and the birds of paradise, offering insights into their unique plumage, mating rituals, and the mythology surrounding them.

Audebert's illustrations are particularly notable for their use of metallic foil to capture the iridescent quality of the birds' feathers—a technique that was both innovative and labor-intensive. This artistic choice not only enhanced the visual appeal of the work but also represented a significant advancement in the scientific illustration of the time.

"Oiseaux Dorés" stands as a testament to Audebert's dedication to the study and portrayal of these avian species. Despite his untimely death before the completion of the project, the work was finished by his colleagues and remains a valuable resource for ornithologists and art historians alike. Its combination of scientific rigor and artistic mastery continues to be celebrated in the annals of natural history illustration.
