    • Rainbow Bee-eater

    • Sacred Kingfisher

    • Rainbow Lorikeet

    Correct Answer
    A. Rainbow Bee-eater
    Explanation
    What is your signal that spring has finally sprung? A good one is the arrival of flocks of Rainbow Bee-eaters in southern Australia. If Bee-eaters are around your area and you're in the south of Australia, you can enjoy their company until April next year, when they will again head off to chase the endless summer up north, in warmer areas.

    • Little Black Cormorant

    • Darter

    • Little Pied Cormorant

    Correct Answer
    A. Little Black Cormorant
    Explanation
    Now that it's spring, some very common water birds are going to be gearing up to start a family. Little Cormorants are found on almost any body of water in Australia - large or small, saltwater or fresh - and in southern Australia they will be breeding through spring and summer. If you're inland, you're more likely to spot Little Black Cormorants.

    • Double-barred Finches

    • Diamond Firetails

    • Zebra Finches

    Correct Answer
    A. Zebra Finches
    Explanation
    "Zebra Finches are mainly grey, with characteristic black 'tear drop' eye stripes and 'zebra like' black and white barring on the rump and upper tail. The throat and upper breast are pale grey, with fine black barring, and there is a broad black band on upper chest. The sides of the belly are chestnut with many white spots." (from http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Taeniopygia-guttata)

    To be a buddy to finches, you need to be a bit of a provider. Many finches need to drink regularly, so they really appreciate backyards that have a bird bath or some water put out in a container. Try to position this so that drinking birds are safe from any curious cats, and maintain it so that you only provide clean water.

    • Eurasian Coot

    • Dusky Moorhen

    • Purple Swamphen

    Correct Answer
    A. Eurasian Coot
    Explanation
    You've probably spotted this black bird gliding effortlessly over the surface of a pond or river - but do you know what it is? The white beak and shield on its face give it away, as do its red eyes. It's a Eurasian Coot. If you go for a walk near some water and hear 'kow-kow-kow' or 'kwok', you're close to spotting a Coot!

    • Helmeted Friarbird

    • Little Friarbird

    Correct Answer
    A. Little Friarbird
    Explanation
    Little Friarbirds may be out and about near you. If you've got a Grevillea or a Banksia in your garden or local area, listen out for a noisy, harsh sounding 'ar-cooo, rockety crook-shank!' It could just be the Little Friarbird calling from the trees as it feeds.
