I would vote for that. Unfortunately, South Australia has it as it's state 
bird, so
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 
Australian Magpie as my pick as our National bird

Nope we do not have an National bird or animal. Considering what has been
coming out of Canberra over the last few years, perhaps our National Bird
should be the Spangled Drongo.

I had assumed it was the Emu as it features on our Coat of Arms.
However I can't find anything authoritative which confirms this or
offers an alternative.

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
scratch, my pick would be Galah.)
