Swift parrot

Swift parrot

The swift parrot looks like a lorikeet except that it is smaller, at only 10 inches long. Also unlike lorikeets, these parrots have flashes of bright red under their wings and a long tapering tail, though these characteristics can be seen only when the bird is flying. The swift parrot is predominantly green in color, with a red face and red shoulder patches. Its blue forehead and yellow cheek markings are usually difficult to see when it is flying fast or feeding high in the forest canopy, but it is easy to distinguish from similarly colored parrots because of its piping two-syllable call.

King parrot

King parrot

Inhabitants of the coastal and mountain forests of eastern Australia, king parrots usually feed on seeds in the canopy of native trees. They also eat exotic foods such as cotoneaster berries and acorns, which they often take from the ground. They nest in the hollows of tall trees and, while the entrance is usually high up, the nest inside the tree are often close to ground level. Adults use their bills and both feet to grip the inside of the tree as they climb up and down.

Forest kingfisher

Forest kingfisher

Forest kingfishers inhabit open woodlands, swamps, mangroves and gardens. They occur in Arnhem Land, in northern and eastern Queensland and down the east coast as far south Wales. Also known as blue kingfishers, they have magnificent royal blue wings, head and tail that contrast with their white under parts. Males also have a broad white collar. Adults reach 8 inches in length. Southern populations of forest kingfishers migrate to New Guinea in winter, but those in Arnhemland are permanent residents. During the breeding season forest kingfishers lay four to six eggs in a nest cavity excavated in a tree termite mound, often laying two clutches in a season. Both parents incubate the eggs.

Kookaburra

Kookaburras

The natural habitat of the laughing kookaburra - the open eucalypt forests of Australia's eastern and southern states - overlaps with major population centers, and this bird is a common visitor to suburban gardens. These birds may live for 20 years and tend to stay in the same area all their life, so individuals can become well known to local residents. This is the largest of the kingfisher family, growing to about 18 inches long. Its lower back, rump and tail are russet brown barred with black, and its wings are brown with blue flecks. Its under parts are white and its white head is marked with a dark band running over its crown and through its eyes.

Victoria's Riflebird

Victoria's Riflebird

Named after Queen Victoria, these birds of paradise are endemic to the Atherton Tablelands. As well as insects, they eat fruits from the trees, some of which they peel by holding the fruit with one foot and removing the skin with their bill. At 9 - 10 inches long, these are the smallest of the Australian riflebirds. The female is predominantly brown above with pale eyebrows and has paler buff under parts faintly barred with brown. The male is an overall black, subtly shot with an iridescent purple sheen that becomes more bronze on the lower breast.
