Tim,
The plural of genus is genera.

All,
If you were to choose a Rosella, what about the Eastern - a marvellous
assortment of colours, and quite a shy, somehow delicate bird, too.
No-one's included any seabirds, by the way. And some of the unique bird
genuses (geni?) or ecological niches of Aussie birds in general?
Looks like I've entered the discussion now, so I'd better think of a
personal top ten. How about:
Southern Cassowary
Wandering Albatross
Pink-eared Duck
Brolga
Square-tailed Kite
Eastern Rosella
Scarlet-chested Parrot (not that I've seen one)
(Lesser) Sooty Owl
Variegated Fairy-wren
Crimson Chat
Spotted Quail-thrush
Gouldian Finch
Painted Honeyeater
Damn, that's 13!! What do you drop from that list?? Oh, well!
Cheers
Tim
