Kookaburra
Native to the eucalyptus forests of eastern Australia, the laughing kookaburra has dark brown wing plumage and a white head and underside. Its beak can reach 4 inches long and is used to snatch the occasional snake. It has a laughter-like call and a cackling chorus can be heard at dawn and dusk.
Lorikeet
The Rainbow Lorikeet is unmistakable with its bright red beak and colourful plumage. Both sexes look alike, with a blue (mauve) head and belly, green wings, tail and back, and an orange/yellow breast. They are often seen in loud and fast-moving flocks, or in communal roosts at dusk. The Rainbow Lorikeet mostly forages on the flowers of shrubs or trees to harvest nectar and pollen, but also eats fruits, seeds and some insects.
Pelican
The Australian Pelican is a black and white bird renown for its large bill (beak). They are mainly seen on the coast - roosting on sandbanks and rock platforms , or swimming in lagoons and bays, dipping their oversized bills into the water to catch fish. Pelicans usually feed together in a group. They drive fish into a concentrated mass using their bills and sometimes by beating their wings. The fish are herded into shallow water or surrounded in ever decreasing circles.
