I would vote for that. Unfortunately, South Australia has it as it's state

I don't think it would be eligible.

Given its almost Australia wide distribution, urban and rural presence and
striking plumage that would work well on crests etc I'd nominate the

Surely we have one? If not, I cry 'Shime, shime " and ask what can be
done and by whom to get one. (For various reasons, if starting from
