 Here's our two bobs worth, our best 8 backyard
birds 
  
1.    Southern Cassowary - 11 years ago when we
first moved in and had no garden - alas they are extinct in our area
now. 
  
2     Red-necked Crake - Heard frequently
but only seen twice in 11 years. 
  
3.    Bush-hen - Heard frequently seen more
often, once walking over our shed! 
  
4.    Rufous Owl - Heard at 0230 calling
outside bedroom window - not seen 
  
5.    Lesser Frigatebird - Blown over by a
cyclone (real birds perch in trees)! 
  
6.    Buff-breasted Paradise-Kingfisher - Flew
into patio door, recovered and flew off, heard each year. 
  
7.    Lovely Fairy-wren - Visits the bird bath
regularly, they are lovely. 
  
8.    Double-eyed Fig-Parrot - Fly over nearly
every evening and even perch on our TV aerial.
