But that's missing a lot more initial letters...
Anyone would think I had nothing better to do at work!

Hi All,
Here is another challenge to tax people. The whole 'bird-names-
starting-with-letters-of-the-alphabet' got me thinking on this one.
We have lots of Aussie birds named 'SOMETHING-bird'. Who can come up
with a complete alphabetical list for these characters?
Here are a few to start off:
Apostlebird, Bellbird, Catbird, Dollarbird.......
