Birds We Have Seen But Not at the Zoo Because that Would be Cheating

Okay, I have to admit it. I am NOT a bird fan. In fact, they kind of creep me out, but being that I am in Australia and they happen to have a lot of birds that we have never seen or heard of I thought I would be a bigger person. I am going to see how many new types we can spot during the time we are here. So, here we go.  Thanks by the way to Aunt Mary G. for helping me out and for passing along this site to help me identify the birds we see. I will update this post as we discover new species.
