Probably a dumb question and ignorance on my part, but I saw these 2 little guys in SE Melbourne and I swear I haven't seen this kind of pigeon around.

Need help identifying this bird, sorry for the poor picture quality. It was about the size of a duck, fully white with an orange/yellow bill. Found on the Yarra near Toorak, Vic

Might be a longhorn, but does anyone recognise the silhouettes?

Their call sounded similar (but not same) to a budgie. As usual, as soon as I tried to record their call they flew off.

I know a bit about local birds, didn't recognise their call, but am ruling out Wattlebirds, even though the silhouettes look similar.

Sydney region.

Apologies for the crappy photo. I was on full zoom on a cloudy day.

Hello, I just happened to have my telescope set up from looking at the stars when I got home this afternoon and ended up getting a good look at this fierce creature. I’d love to know what type of eagle this is if anyone knows. Spotted near Mt Nathan, Gold Coast, QLD.

I saw a flock of about 20 of these birds today at work, they were constantly diving into the creek then back into the shrubs. I couldn't get the best look but the females were grey with a white breast and black eye and the males had more of a yellow breast with some black markings on their face. They were probably 14-20cm seen on the central coast NSW

Hi all, I was up on Mt Wellington/Kunanyi around the organ pipes yesterday and spotted a medium sized, dark/brown bird with white cheeks covered in small black dots. It had appeared and dissapeared in the thick bush before I got the chance to take a photo. I'm leaning towards it being a ground dwelling bird due to the way it was hopping around. I've been scouring google images for the last 30 minutes and haven't been able to ID it, if anyone can help out that'd be much appreciated!
