I’m not one to boast, but, we’ve got the deadliest bird in the world, (Southern Cassowary) the most poisonous snakes in the world, and the most venomous spider (Sydney Funnel Web) in Australia, and, even the world. Sometimes it’s terrifying, but, you get used to living with dangerous animals.

Nat as byutiful as your neighba New Zealand… jokes, both countries are great in their own way. NZ doesn’t have anything like the Outback or Lake Hillier or Great Barrier. I visited Australia many times BEFORE I FOUND OUT ABOUT INATURALIST OR EBIRD.

You can’t even walk in a field with long grass in Sydney in peace.

Such a contrast from NZ lol… we have no land snakes and our venemous spider is endangered.

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure they do have keel backs which are poisonous

Bird of the Week poll is closed :closed_lock_with_key:. The winner is the Hawks. Sometime this week try to find a Hawk species. Then feel free to share a story about the bird you found. It’ll help us gather more knowledge about the Hawk species.

I saw a RTHA being mobbed a few days ago, but it doesn’t count. Still very cool!
