I reckon this would waltz through a featured list candidacy. Hesperian 06:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have issues with the ordering of this list. Alphabetical by common name might be good for some, but I'd rather see groups of like birds together, in a similar order to field guides - seabirds, then waterfowl, birds of prey, parrots, owls, passerines. Case in point; I had to search hard to find Perth's three black-cockatoos; old name of Short-billed for Carnaby's didn't help! I notice some of the birds are already out of alphabetical order due to edits. Common names change, groupings wouldn't. BoundaryRider (talk) 02:32, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vagrants on this list

[edit]

I notice there are a number of birds on this list that are considered vagrant - for example black-crowned night heron. I'm going to add "vagrant" with a citation in the notes to the birds like this that I notice. --Owheelj (talk) 05:57, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
