Probably applies more to NZ and to small island communities, such as Lord Howe and Norfolk Island. It may be hard to accept, but relative to such small isolated communities that did not have native land mammals, Australia's birds have done fairly well
given the onslaught of human settlement and introduction of predators etc. That said though, there are serious ongoing threats, especially land use change and the impact of climate change, also unpredictable ones like introduction of exotic plant/animal diseases.
There are additional 'second order' things like the addition impact of introduced predators on populations already affected by the 'bigger' issues.
