I didn't want to, but I will for the sake of changing the topic. BA = Birds
Australia and BOCA = Bird Observation and Conservation Australia....

While most have commented on the bird component of the logo (which is very
much in keeping with the design of BirdLife International's logo), it is
interesting to see that 'birdlife' is written in lower case perhaps in a
continued effort to ensure the acronym BLA doesn't take flight ;-)

I guess Sean Dooley (Editor of the magazine) vetoed the Grey Falcon on the
grounds that it does not exist?
