Birds of Australia

It was the most amazing thing to see some of the "common" birds in Australia-- parrots, parakeets, spoonbills, Little Penguins, ibises, cockatoos, magpies, black swans, red ground parrots, pukekos, emus (though we didn't see any of those in the wild). The colors of even the finches were astonishing. Here are just some of those mentioned above, taken by moi. Audubon Society, here I come.

I think the Pukeko gave us the most value with its oversized feet. Never got boring.
