Bird Identification of Australian Birds - Sydney and Blue Mountains Bird Species

Bird identification can be quite difficult when you are starting out with learning birds. This page shows some birds from the Sydney and Blue Mountains and other regions of Australia. Click on the pictures to show more information about each of the different bird species.

Australian Birds - Identification

The bird identification section of the site is fairly new and I will add more bird species as I get around to it, and add more information about the birds that are there already.

NOTE: The birds are listed in order of size, from smallest to largest. This ordering is more useful for bird identification than having them in alphabetical order of their names, or the order they are usually found in bird identification books. Sizes are measured from bill (beak) tip to the tip of the bird's tail.

NEW BIRDS: Gang-gang Cockatoo, Long-billed Corella, Barking Owl, Masked Owl, Peregrine Falcon, White-Bellied Sea-Eagle.
