    • Cockatiel

    • Corella

    Correct Answer
    A. Sulphur-crested Cockatoo
    Explanation
    Holiday season is prime time for endless chattering and some raucous screeching, and not just from your Christmas guests. Sulphur-crested Cockatoos may be calling loudly near you in the early morning and at dusk as they fly home to roost at night.

    Correct Answer
    A. Cockatiel
    Explanation
    Cockatiels are intelligent, charming and social birds that live in arid and semi-arid areas of the Australian continent, in trees or dead branches. If you’re near a stream, creak or river, keep a lookout for these orange cheeked birds as they love water.

    • Crow

    • Satin Bowerbird

    • Raven

    Correct Answer
    A. Satin Bowerbird
    Explanation
    You go for a walk in the forest and stumble on a glittering treasure trove. You spot blue straws, blue pegs, blue bottle caps, blue bits of plastic, blue feathers and berries. This is the hoard of an obsessive little critter that is mad about the colour blue! And in the centre of all this lies a strange and intriguing architectural construction... You haven’t been transported into ‘Lord of the Rings’ – you’ve found the bower of an amazing fellow called a Satin Bowerbird. This species loves blue so much that even their eyes are a vibrant lilac-blue colour!

    • Pied Currawong

    • Peewee aka Magpie Lark

    • Australian Magpie

    Correct Answer
    A. Australian Magpie
    Explanation
    Australian Magpies are intelligent creatures that recognise and remember individual human faces, even if the person wears different clothes. If you are one of the unlucky ones that get swooped, it’s likely that you look like someone who once bothered the Magpie. The good news is that most Magpies don’t swoop people. Females don’t swoop at all because they are busy sitting on the eggs, and only 12% of male Magpies are aggressive.

    • Australian White Ibis

    • Straw-necked Ibis

    • Royal Spoonbill

    Correct Answer
    A. Australian White Ibis
    Explanation
    You've probably spotted this familiar face (and long black beak) when you've gone to enjoy the sun out in a local park, at a picnic site or even on your front lawn. You might not like their scavenging ways, but ibises are good buddies to have around. Don't write off the ibis because it forages in bins or tips, simply put lids on bins to make them inaccessible to birdy visitors.

    • Peewee aka Magpie Lark

    • Willie Wagtail

    Correct Answer
    A. Willie Wagtail
    Explanation
    You may have noticed a small black and white bird with a long fanned tail that it swings from side to side or up and down. This is the cute Willie Wagtail, and it lives all over mainland Australia.

    • Galahs

    • Pink Cockatoos

    • Major Mitchell's Cockatoos

    Correct Answer
    A. Galahs
    Explanation
    You may notice this noisy, loveable show off clowning around near you. Galahs are playful birds that sometimes pretend to be in mortal danger. They suddenly swing upside down on a power line or tree branch and screech like mad as if they've fallen. Then when they've had enough fun they simply flap their wings to get back the right way up and - hey presto! - they carry on as normal. The funny behaviour of these clowns of the sky is the reason why Australians call people behaving like larrikins 'galahs'.

    • Cockatiel

    • Little Corella

    • Major Mitchell's Cockatoo

    Correct Answer
    A. Little Corella
    Explanation
    The screech of the corella may not instantly seem like a beautiful thing, but give it a chance. The Little Corella is a gorgeous bird - mostly white with patches of blue skin around its eyes and a wash of pale pink sweeping up from its bill. Look up as they’re flying overhead and you’ll see bright yellow underneath the wings and tails.

    • Banded Lapwing

    • Double-banded Plover

    • Masked Lapwing aka Plover

    Correct Answer
    A. Masked Lapwing aka Plover
    Explanation
    This Masked Avenger wears a bright yellow mask, but not to hide its identity. It’s infamous for swooping, but it’s not a magpie. It’s a common visitor to grassy areas around your suburb. Do you know its name? The Masked Lapwing, also known as a Spur-winged Plover or Masked Plover,
    has a bad reputation for swooping but it’s not being pesky. These birds are only following their protective parental instincts and rightly defending what is theirs - their baby chicks.

    • Blue-winged Kookaburra

    • Laughing Kookaburra

    • Sacred Kingfisher

    Correct Answer
    A. Laughing Kookaburra
    Explanation
    There is no sound like the call of a kookaburra. Whether it be the ‘koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-kaa-kaakaa’ of the Laughing Kookaburra along the Eastern Seaboard or the cackle of the Blue-winged Kookaburra in the tropical north. These birds bring much welcome colour and character to your backyard garden and neighbourhood.
