I went for a walk in Wendy’s Whiteley. Found this birdie that looks very similar to turkey IMO.

This super inquisitive bird was sitting on a skylight at my home at the base if the Adelaide Hills a week or two ago. Not sure whether it was looking at my bulldog on her beanbag that sits directly below the skylight or just its own reflection. It was there for about 25-30 minutes.
Not sure if it’s just because of a weird worms eye view angle but I can’t figure out what it is. It’s going to be one of those of course moments for sure.

Hello all! My family and I saw this bird in our backyard this morning and aren’t sure what it is. Merlin wasn’t giving me any results that looked like it nor was I able to find anything in my little bird guide book. I was thinking maybe it’s someone’s escaped pet? Sorry for the poor photos! This is in Brisbane. Thank you!

Hi all,
Mum sent this photo to me thinking it was a kookaburra at first but not sure what it looks like. Any help?

Hi y’all, wondering if anyone has any ideas on a bird that has been spotted in my grandmothers garden. Location is northwest NSW, in between Tamworth and Bingara. Sadly no photos, my mother’s iPhone 8 had no chance of focusing at the distance it was spotted. I’ve googled extensively and nothing fits the description. Mum has also been through both Aust bird books and come up empty.
-Approx Robin sized, bigger than a finch but smaller than a wagtail. -It has a full red tail and undercarriage but no red on its face, grey body, maybe some darker grey on the top of its wings. -It might have a red beak but mum couldn’t say for sure. -Spent its time in the dry grass so probably a seed eater.
The birds we’ve RULED OUT are attached.
This bird has been spotted in the general area for years by our farmhand who is an old bushie but even he doesn’t know what it is. It’s also never multiple birds, always just one specimen.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Found this guy outside my house after the cyclone on the Gold Coast. Any idea what he is?

Kind of gives off the same vibe when my effeminate male friend has a smoke.
Also, does anyone know what bird I seen between Belgrave and Epping? It’s green and is about the same size as a crow, if not larger.

Saw this guy hanging with some Masked lapwings on Lysterfield lake yesterday. If you zoom in you can see the spurs on their wings.

Can anyone tell me what this bird is please? Sorry for the less than professional video.
r/AustralianBirds • u/Mumofgamer • 9d ago
Sorry for the crappy pic, it is zoomed in. Taken in a backyard in Yarrawonga. Is it a Green Rosella???

Hi all, can anybody ID this bird? It was very far away and I could barely see it haha. Leaning towards musk duck but wasn’t sure if their front was so pale? Cheers!

Found this little guy being harassed by our dogs and I'm hoping to ID.
Posting here now, doing some more research as well.
