“A reading of recent research shows that Australian birds are more likely than most to eat sweet foods, live in complex societies, lead long lives, attack other birds, and be intelligent and loud.” When going to Australia, one of the two birds I wanted to see most was the Tawny Frogmouth.

Hutton’s Shearwaters are a bit of a mystery bird in the north of Western Australia, as you very rarely see them. They breed in New Zealand’s South Island and they appear to wander quite some distance. Their breeding grounds were not discovered until the 1960′s.

The archipelago consists of 17,000 islands stretching out over 2500 miles along the Equator with a varied history of avian research and study, most on the under- or not-studied side. There are more than 1,300 distribution maps, indicating resident birds, breeding visitors, and migrants. So, this is no ordinary bird guide.

Not to mention, its brilliantly bulbous crimson throat, bloated during breeding season must be a sight! The Magnificent Frigatebird is the bird I would want to see. Though not a rare bird, it’s tireless flight, day and night, I find alluring. To see this bird in all its glory in the environs of Brazil would be my bird dream.

Please do not think any less of me, I set out to write a more sensationalist piece about adult Dusky Moorhens murdering their young, only to realise when I opened a book to do some research that I had misremembered that fact and it was coots that committed that misdeed.

Penguins are also bellweathers of climate change; dwellers of remote areas you’ve (probably) never heard of; creatures who have developed unique, innovative ways of adapting to the harsh environments where they breed and rear chicks and the water environments in which they feed and swim.

Interestingly for me, the research paper calls throwing out the eggs infanticide, which makes me feel a bit queasy as this might potentially be on the wrong side of the Roe vs. Wade (or “Right vs. Wrong”, as The Onion calls it) debate.
