An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.

Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.

Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

Bit of an outrage that Noisy Friarbirds aren't on the list - guess they aren't native enough given they're also in Papua New Guinea. I love those guys.

Had to vote for the Butcher Bird, Magpie, and the Banjo Frog. We get the banjos around our place and they really do sound like a banjo playing when there's a few of them on the go. Very Deliverance.

Butcher birds are also in Papua. And there is a “butcher bird” that is more Magpie than Butchie in Papua too!
