That's the number that the Handbook of Birds of the World use for

Hi David et. al.,
I have read where Australia's most prolific bird is the Short-tailed
Shearwater, with numbers estimated around 23 Million - not sure
whether that's just propaganda from the Mutton-birders to justify
their 'harvest' each year???
