We celebrate all kinds of special days and special weeks, so why not a special week just to celebrate the wonderful birds of Australia?

In a way – that is what this site is all about – celebrating the fact that we have an abundance of wonderful birds in this land of ours.

This celebration runs from today until the 25th October 2013. You can find out more about Australian Bird Week by clicking here.

As a part of the week, organisers are asking Australians to vote for their favourite bird (click here).

Which species will you vote for? Below is a photo of my favourite bird.

Crested Pigeon, Laratinga Wetlands, Mt Barker, South Australia
