Today is Australia Day, a time where we celebrate the European settlement of this great land of ours. In a simple way I want to celebrate the day by showing some well-known and well-loved Australian birds.
The photos featured today include:
- Emu (above) - the male Emu hatches the eggs and cares for the chicks for up to 18 months.
- Galah (below) - probably our best known parrot, and a favourite as a pet.
- Australian Magpie (below) - a common bird in gardens, parks and in rural landscapes.
- Laughing Kookaburra (below) - the call of the Kookaburra is known throughout the land and is iconic of the Australian bush - and increasingly suburbia as well.
You can see more photos and read more about Australian birds on my other site called Trevor's Birding.
