When I saw these colorful birds they were battling for a spot in the garden's bird bath.
Emus are a national icon of Australia, and they are the second largest bird in the world. What's first? The ostrich!
Pelicans have been around for at least 30 million years, and they live on every continent except Antarctica.
Skinks are a family of small lizards. They are pretty special because when a part of their tail is injured or cut off, they can grow it back! Do you know any other animals that can do this?
If you guessed a starfish, you're right! The process of growing back an injured body part is called regeneration.
'Chook' is Australian slang for chicken.
Just like dogs, there are lots of breeds of chickens. This one is called a Brahma. Have you ever seen a chicken like this?
