This Australia Day

[John Harris <>]

Surely this is just a technicality, especially on  Australia day when all sorts of people from elsewhere are getting citizenship!

However, to enter into the spirit of the question, I presume that you mean that some of these birds are also ‘native’ to other nearby places especially PNG. This includes at least the magpie, SC Cockatoo and the WT Eagle. The Dollar Bird is I recall also called the Asian Dollarbird.

Oh dear Geoffrey, there are at least four species in your main photo that are not dinky di Aussies, plus of course Ned’s mate.  I suppose they could have gone down to Lake Burley Griffin this morning to meet the GG, the PM and the VC winner to become fully fledged Aussie citizens!

 

Anyone care to try and list them?
