Australia is home to a diverse range of bird species, with over 800 identified. These birds inhabit various environments, from coastal regions to arid deserts. Notable species include the Emu, the world's second-largest bird, and the colorful Rainbow Lorikeet, known for its vibrant plumage. Many Australian birds are unique to the continent, such as the Kookaburra, famous for its distinctive call. The Cockatoo family, including the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, is also prominent, often seen in urban areas. Conservation efforts are essential to protect these species and their habitats from threats like habitat loss and climate change.
