Australasian Grebe = Tachybaptus novaehollandiae

          The Grebe bird is a very small bird (some details come from the chart above) that live on the Pacific parts of the ocean. Fun fact, these birds are unable to fly for a long, so to make up for their unablility to fly well, they are great swimmers and divers. If the birds have chicks, both parents take care of the chicks and are very protective of their little ones.

Australian King-Parrot = Alisterus scapularis

          The King Parrot lives in the deep forests and humid regions of Australia. To tell the difference in the male and female bird is by looking at the color of the bird on their beaks, heads, wings, and chest. The easiest way you can tell between the two is the beak; the females is a gray color and the male has a yellow beak with a black color at the tip of the beak. A fun fact about the Australian King Parrot is that there are three different sizes and they have been around since the early 1800's. It is very rare to see these birds alone, they stay in big groups and keep each other as good company.

Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike = Coracina novaehollandiae

          The Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike are highly protected by the National Parks because of predators and hunters. These birds are found wooded areas, but not in rainforests. They do not change much appearance from when they are chicks to adult hood because they stay gray/white and the only difference is they get a black mask on their faces and tips of their wings. Fun fact, the Coracina nocaehollandiae are not closely related to cuckoos or shrikes. They just have cuckoos and shrikes in their name because they take off flight identically to the cuckoos and shrikes. When one finds a Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike, they will see them in pairs and singing their little hearts away.
