	Birds Australia List of Australian Birds
		Birds Australia has published an official list (Christidis & Boles, 1994) which is available from The Birding Shop, and which is used in Birds Australia publications (but see HANZAB).
		The HANZAB list is also available for your convienience, as is the taxonomy used in the Action Plan for Australian Birds.
		This list is based on Christidis & Boles (1994), but incorporates suggested changes in taxonomy such as new species accepted by BARC (Birds Australia Rarities Committee).

	List of Australian birds - Definition, explanation
		For example, almost any land habitat offers a niche for a small bird that specialises in finding small insects: the form best fitted to that task is one with long legs for agility and obstacle clearance, moderate-sized wings optimised for quick, short flight, and a large, upright tail for rapid changes of direction.
		In consequence, the unrelated birds that fill that niche in the Americas and in Australia look and act as though they were close relatives.
		Birds recently introduced by humans: some, like the European Goldfinch and greenfinch coexist happily, others such as European Common Starlings, Blackbirds and sparrows and the Indian Mynah are destructive vermin.

	AUSTRALIAN SPECIES LIST
		Included are birds that breed exclusively, mainly or frequently in natural cavities in trees, burrows in soil (or even snow - i.e.
		However, birds that nest in caves, beneath overhangs, in large artifical spaces (such as warehouses) and those that build their own cavities out of grass (such as some of the finches) or mud (such as the Fairy Martin) are not included.
		Many of the birds are endemic to Australia, but there are also many found elsewhere (especially among the petrels) and those that have been introduced by humans.

	Info Health - Birds
		Birds are bipedal, warm-blooded, oviparous vertebrate animals characterized primarily by feathers, forelimbs modified as wings, and (in most) hollow bones.
		Depending on the taxonomic viewpoint, there are about 8,800—10,200 living bird species (and about 120—130 that have become extinct in the span of human history) in the world, making them the most diverse class of terrestrial vertebrates.
		Most birds are diurnal, or active during the day, but some birds, such as the owls and nightjars, are nocturnal or crepuscular (active during twilight hours), and many coastal waders feed when the tides are appropriate, by day or night.

		The bird quickly found its way into the bordering snags on this coastal lagoon and was not re-found.
		Hardhead – one all-dark bird observed at a billabong across from the Bairnsdale airport was almost certainly of this species based on profile, although the mid-day sun is not a good way to observe this bird even through a scope.
		One male bird was flashing its tail, walking backwards, and using a funny “toy-toy-toy” call during the “dance”.

		A number of bird species have been introduced by humans; some, like the European Goldfinch and Greenfinch, coexist happily with Australian species, while others, such as the Common Starling, European Blackbird, House Sparrow and Indian Mynah, are destructive of some native bird species and thus destabilise the native ecosystem.
		The Australian coast is visited by six species of sea turtle: the Flatback, Green Sea, Hawksbill, Olive Ridley, Loggerhead and the Leatherback Sea Turtles; all are protected in Australian waters.

	The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2000 - Introduction
		As each was completed, it was circulated to State and Territory authorities in whose jurisdiction the taxon occurred, to ornithologists with expertise in those or related taxa, to other interested members of Birds Australia and to the public at large.
		An additional set of texts were prepared on a selection of taxa for which concern has been expressed in the past, but which were assessed not to meet current criteria for listing as threatened or near threatened.
		For this reason all taxa listed as Insufficiently Known in the 1992 Action Plan (Garnett, 1992) had to be reclassified, soon after publication, into the most likely of the other categories.
