The birds up here are really cool. I’m sure Australia has some really interesting ones though too!
I think we’ve talked about Merlin before? I have 68 on my life list with my latest being the Dark-eyed Junco

We have! I have to download it onto my phone as I broke my old phone
Oh, that’s not good!
What’s been your favorite bird you!ve seen? Mine is definitely the Stellar’s Jay I saw out in Utah when I went last spring. I loved them since childhood and really wanted to see one IRL. I finally did then!
I didn’t get a picture of it, in fact that was before I was really even into birding so there were probably a million species I saw on that trip I didn‘t mark down
Oh man, great question, I have so manyOh, that’s not good!

I think maybe the major Mitchell's cockatoo, I've only seen them twice but they're very cool and interesting birds, with declining species numbers. I am dying to get good close up shots.
And here I am just remembering those cardinals I see every spring
Y'all are seeing alien birds, and I'm stuck on house sparrows

Ah yes, the true invasive species.And here I am just remembering those cardinals I see every spring

I have so many at my feeders you wouldn’t believe. But I also do get a good amount of Chickadees, Nuthatches, Titmice, Blue Jays, New World Sparrows, Cardinals, and the occasional Woodpecker.
Ok, but seriously, the birds I've seen in the wild:
- Northern cardinals
- Mourning doves (beautiful bird but invasive here)
- Feral pigeon (I actually like pigeons)
- American black vulture
- Eastern bluebird
- Great blue heron
- Red-tailed hawk (it was on our fountain in our backyard)
- Bald eagle
- Ruddy duck
- Quaker parrots (invasive here. Basically like pigeons)
- Blue jay
- Red-headed woodpecker
- Ivory-billed woodpecker
Don't worry Quell, I have alien skies tooAnd here I am just remembering those cardinals I see every spring

Yeah. Had to look it up, but yes
You guys @QueenCinna @Orkan have you seen the plans to bring the Dodo back to life?! When it's alive and well in Mauritius again you can go and photograph it! Imagine that!
Heh, maybe one day…
I like to stick to more local species, jut seeing birds and marking them down, yk?
Guys I need your opinions on something:
For Eastborro Zoo, I can do one of two things:
1. Arabian Nights, a nocturnal house with maybe Sand Cats and Caracals, and maybe fruit bats if I can find a way to make the exhibit look smaller. This would connect the Asia to future Africa sections.
2. Something else, not sure exactly what, but I’m open to ideas
