Australia is loud with bird song, all the time. Just morning to night birds shrieking their asses off.

Then you come back to the US and it's like silence.

edit: new page here's a bird I found

It is a really cool thing about Australia, parrots, cockatoos and lorikeets just living and doing their birb things in the cities, in your street even, plus all the other cool birbs we have here too.
If you love birbs, Australia is heaven.

When I first moved to Sydney and saw a bin chicken I freaked out a little thinking ‘that’s a loving Ibis, it’s an Egyptian god and it’s scavenging in Australian bins!’
I loving love this country.

Eh, Australia and Florida. White ibises are backyard birds here you see loving everywhere.

Yeah but that's the fun of traveling around. I had the same thought when I saw ibises in Australia.

Where I grew up seeing a Bald Eagle was an event. But I'm up by Lake Superior right now and you can't look outside without seeing one fly by. Yawn.

There are places along the coast of BC where they're considered pests. Basically glorified seagulls, eating garbage and stealing food from more enterprising creatures. Majestic landfill wildlife.

I finally have something to post!

This guy (or gal) was sitting outside my window this morning




From a different angle:





Meanwhile, their significant other was in the next tree feeding babies? Or maybe having a squirrel buffet, but I saw them fly out of there yesterday so I'm going to hope it's babies.
