What are your favourite types of birds?
I must say, Australia has some pretty sweet native birds.

Which has that awesome laugh (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=S0ZbykXlg6Q).
Lyrebird, you must watch this video (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=VjE0Kdfos4Y) to really appreciate them.
And while I'm at it, I am not a fan of the ibis. Most disgusting bird ever.
The booby, woodcock and the titpecker.

Hyacinth Macaws. They're the biggest macaws. They're really beautiful.

I wanted one for my 10th birthday, but it was too expensive (these birds run for prices in the thousands. D: ), so we got a smaller macaw.

I saw some guy showing off an owl today, collecting donations for the local wildlife sanctuary. The owl seriously did not give a crap about everyone looking at it and instead just shut its eyes and tried to go to sleep. That is my kind of bird.

I generally try to avoid picking favourites, but swallows are lovely birds.

Finches! 'Cos they are tiny, and they hop around with their no-arm-ness.

I am a man of simple pleasures. Just give me a decent-looking passerine and I'm satisfied. Check out this lovely blue tit, for instance:

All birds rock, anyway, so I'm not fussed.
