Correct Answer
A. DollarbirdExplanation
Have you ever looked up and seen a fleeting flash of silver in the sky...as if some silver coins were attached to a bird's wings? You're not losing the plot - there is a bird like this. It's the Dollarbird, named for the pale-blue circles (like American silver dollars) near the tips of its wings.

Correct Answer
A. Crested BellbirdExplanation
The Crested Bellbird is often heard but not seen. This is because of its grey-brown and buff colouring which blends into its surroundings and because of its amazing ability to throw its call so that it sounds
