He was a graduate of Wesleyan University, where he was a member of the Phi Nu Theta (Eclectic) Fraternity, and had a PhD from Harvard University. After serving in the US Navy in World War II he went to Japan. He worked there in the Allied Military Government for Occupied Territories. Austin was married to author and ornithologist Elizabeth S.

Oliver Austin co-authored The Random House Book of Birds with his wife, which was published in 1970.[3] In addition to Birds of the World, among his nine books, he wrote famous studies of birds in both Japan and the Republic of Korea.[4] After Austin's death, a collection of his notes, illustrations and a number of early drafts of his book, Birds of the World, were gifted to the University of Florida George A. Smathers Libraries.[5] Austin was responsible for introducing mist netting into ornithology by modification of techniques used by traditional Japanese trappers.[6] Publications
