Visiting National Parks gives one the chance to spot all kinds of Australian birds, others, such as the Rainbow Lorrikeet in the photo live in all the coastal regions of Australia. Others inhabit the inner regions. Some only live in very specific areas, about 300 species live only in Australia.

There are migratory birds that travel thousands of kilometres every year to their nesting grounds on different continents to and from Australia. About 450 species of birds visit this continent every year from Asia and as far away as Siberia.

Biodiversity

Birds play an important role in biodiversity, pollinating native plants and spreading seeds. Spotting these birds can take you through beautiful coastal scenery to the snowfields in the Australia alpine regions, the tropical rainforests of Queensland and the Northern Territory or the vast desert regions in the interior.

Parrots can be found in many places in Australia, the variety of colours is fascinating to see in backyards and in parks. The musicality of birds like the whipbird and the lyre, who can imitate sounds and laughing kookaburras making hearing them a memorable treat.
