Based in Mildura (Victoria), his bird studies took him throughout north-western Victoria, and in New South Wales the Darling River region and from Broken Hill north into Queensland. He also made several visits to Australia's Subantarctic islands. His particular interest being bird eggs, he assembled a comprehensive collection of Australian species and seabirds, including penguins. This collection was bequeathed to the Museum of Victoria. Favaloro was an enthusiastic participant in bird-banding expeditions. His interest in raptors led to an exhaustive knowledge of nesting sites in his local area and he frequently hosted injured birds needing rehabilitation. For nearly 30 years Favaloro was Honorary Ornithologist at the National Museum of Victoria. In 1973 he became a Life Member of the Royal Australasian Ornithological Union. 1923 1973 Career position - Member, Royal Australasian Ornithological Union 1932 1976 Career position - Practiced as a solicitor in Mildura, Victoria 1 March 1932 1 March 1932 Career event - Admitted to practice as Barrister and Solicitor 1950 1950 Career position - Member, Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition to Macquarie Island 1951 1951 Career position - Member, Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition to Heard Island and Kerguelen Island 1952 1954 Career position - President, Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union 1955 1983 Career position - Honorary Ornithologist, National Museum of Victoria 1965 1968 Career position - Treasurer, Royal Australasian Ornithological Union 1965 1968 Career position - Treasurer, Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union 1973 1989 Award - Life member, Royal Australasian Ornithological Union 1977 1977 Career position - Foundation Member, Australian Bird Study Association 1983 1984 Career position - Honorary Ornithologist, Museum of Victoria Museum of Victoria (1983 - 1998)
