Birds of Prey
Australia's raptor fauna is not especially diverse given its large size, with just 26 species. Nonetheless, birds of prey are conspicuous on many journeys through inland Australia, from the majestic Wedge-tailed Eagle, to the smaller, elegant harriers.
Birds of the Coast
With such as extensive coastline, Australia has a diverse community of coastal birds from oceanic albatrosses, to the waders, herons and egrets of intertidal zones.
Parrots
Every habitat in Australia has a characteristic set of parrots, from city parks to the arid Outback. Fifty-four parrot species are found in Australia.
Wattlebirds and Honeyeaters
Honeyeaters and Wattlebirds are members of the family Meliphagidae, which is highly developed in Australia. These birds are nectar-feeders and play a vital role in the pollination of many Australian shrubs and trees.
