Raven
Correct Answer
A. Satin BowerbirdExplanation
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!

Galahs

Pink Cockatoos
-
Major Mitchell's Cockatoos
Correct Answer
A. GalahsExplanation
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'.

Australian Magpie
Correct Answer
A. Australian MagpieExplanation
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.

Budgerigar
Correct Answer
A. CockatielExplanation
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.

Little Corella
-
Major Mitchell's Cockatoo
Correct Answer
A. Little CorellaExplanation
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.

Australian White Ibis

Straw-necked Ibis
-
Royal Spoonbill
Correct Answer
A. Australian White IbisExplanation
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.

Blue-winged Kookaburra

Laughing Kookaburra

Sacred Kingfisher
Correct Answer
A. Laughing KookaburraExplanation
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.

Masked Lapwing aka Plover
Correct Answer
A. Masked Lapwing aka PloverExplanation
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.

Correct Answer
A. Sulphur-crested CockatooExplanation
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.
