I was in South Australia not too long ago and I'd love to share some of the wild bird pics I took with you all!

When I first saw the cage in the back of the truck I thought it was empty. But then we both stopped at a light and a bunch of tiny birb faces popped up and looked around! When we were driving they ducked back down, but at every stoplight they would pop back up for a bit, lol

There was a time where a peahen was on our roof. It started doing a mating call ( i think that's what it was ) and both me and my rooommate were so confused until we went outside and saw it was a peahen.
Up until then I only heard the male's calls, so hearing the female was... different. We thought someone was being hurt or something.

Anyways peacocks and peahen are common in my area. I wish one day I could see their chicks, but idk if they'd just be out and about like that similarly to ducks- i doubt it.

Common Thrushes of the U.S. and Oy-rope:
American Robin :

• Unlike the European Robin, is a big ol' thrush (very round)
• Colorful orange, black, and grey with white underpants (very cute)
• Pretty song, also likes to scream in spring mornings to declare a tree theirs (funny, doesn't wake you up ever)
• Chirp chorps, BEEP boop boops
• Very conspicuous hunting method of running around and standing straight up
• Does not visit feeders (very sad)
• AllAboutBirds Page

Eurasian Common Black Bird:

• Sleek black body (not as round as the pot-bellied American Robin)
• Very beautiful song, likes to sing after rainstorms (aesthetic)
• Cheep cheeps
• Also likes to make noise in the morning, less screechy than the Robin
• More conspicuous than the Robin, when people approach the blackbird likes to sound his alarm call and fly across the path of the people
• Darts around very fast on their little leggies
• Likes to waddle around in the underbrush more than American Robins, look for their little orange points in the shade when you hear something thrushing around
• May visit feeders depending. They like to visit a feeder cam based out of Germany
• eBird Page

Both birbs are worth seeing IRL, they're very characteristic.

one of two vultures out in front of my job
looks like somebody threw out meat and something fished it out of the dumpster rather than random roadkill, after they took off one of the local stray cats started picking at it
