Thread: Vote for your favourite Australian bird

The funniest thing to see birds do at a CBH site, is get a good gutful of seed and then try to fly... A heap of pink n greys and correllas got stuck into a pile of sweepings at a bin, we where parked for the day, and these birds where so full they couldnt take off at all... Some tried but they came down just as quick...

We all reconned they would have gut aches, but no, they did the same next day...

this would be my vote , my favourite Australian Parrot , the Pale Headed Rosella.

And the winner is... the magpie.
Understandable, but not my choice.

I would imagine that the common Bin Chicken would come a distant last.

some media outlets were promoting the bin chicken as a bit of a stir therefore listeners more than likely logged on and voted in the hope it got up for giggles.

The radio hosts did change to the magpie.....although the magpie polled well last year i believe
