least fav are the cockatoos, the noise on them when you get a load on your property. They must be the worst sounding birds in the world ( they'd put my mother in law to shame - and that is saying something lol)

My ears were literally ringing after all that noise!My fave Aus birds are Bowerbirds and Babblers because they are intelligent and inquisitive birds. Real fun to watch.

Re: Favorite Aussie Animal
there's too many to mention, but I do love the wombat, the kooka and also the echidna is a fave, loads of them in Port Campbell waddling all over the place if anyone is going down the great ocean road.

Then the object of their wrath flew over; a Wedge-tailed Eagle. Much nicer bird! My ears were literally ringing after all that noise!

One of the most hated birds in Aus ( because of their noise - I'd rather them than noise from people, barking dogs ,cars etc etc anyday - crows are native to this country and just nature, good "cleaner uppers") , Glad to know there is also some other people who love them, thought I was the only "weird" one. Apparently they have the most vocabulary out of all birds according to the scientists, recent discovery. And of course is one of the few birds that has worked out how to eat a cane toads
