I made this chart in 2019 and included error bars where available to might help with some questions.

#Bird #deaths annually by hazard. #Cats kill 10,000 times more birds than #wind #turbines. Even oil pits (!) kill three times as many. Improved visualization inspired by @1a story today using @Tableau and data from https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds

Ghost #bird. I did this some time ago.
I like eerie creatures even though I am not really good at depicting them, but I try my best 🐦 This one is supposed to be part of a story which I know how it starts and how it ends, but there is not much in between as to now πŸ˜„

Our friendly magpie was back today, foraging for worms and bugs in the backyard, with a new friend, a Pied Currawong.

They seemed to get along ok together.

We’ve been visited by a very tame magpie. He seems to like peanuts (chopped) but not birdseed. Technically I should feed him mealworms, or earthworms but I don’t have any handy (funny that).

New King Parrot friend is now eating from my hand, much to the consternation of the cockatoos.

Another new bird! A Great Bowerbird, spotted in Chillagoe. The male (with the pink crest) was displaying for three females in the hope of mating. He was ultimately unsuccessful on this attempt, but I’m sure he gave it another go after we left.

Not the best photos, since he was off the track and hidden in the undergrowth, but here is the Tooth-billed Bowerbird, which also only lives on and around the Atherton Tablelands. I have a sound recording of his call too, which I'll post when I can get it off the phone.

After hearing them all over the Daintree Rainforest and Atherton Tablelands, I finally saw a Victoria's Riflebird. This is a female (I heard the male, but it wasn't coming down from the tree tops).

These birds only live around this area (Atherton -> Daintree) and are one of three Qld species of Riflebirds.

I also found a Brown-capped Emerald-Dove (well two of them actually) along the same stream the platypus was in.

Also, another new bird for me, the Macleay’s Honeyeater. This bird only occurs on the Atherton Tablelands.

Took some finding, but I found a Golden Bowerbird (and bower). These guys only occur in a small part of far north Qld and only above 900m elevation.
