Thread: Of Avian Variety

  1. #1

    Default Of Avian Variety

    What are your favourite types of birds?

    I must say, Australia has some pretty sweet native birds.

    Rainbow Lorikeet:


    Kookaburra:

    Which has that awesome laugh.

    Lyrebird, you must watch this video 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.

    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.

    What do you have to say for yourself?

    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:

    Bards are the root of all evil.
