Of Avian Variety

[Mittopotahis]

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.

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.

Yeah the Lyrebird is something else.

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

[Tama2]

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

[Shorty]

Cockatiels are super cute.

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.

It's all about Penguins. What's more awesome than a penguin?

They are the main reason why I go to the zoo as often as I do.

I've always loved raptors myself.
