Birds with a colour as part of their name.

Featuring only Australian birds

this week.

Straw Necked Ibis. 

So named because of straw coloured

feathers on its neck. 

I doubt ‘straw’ is a colour but added it

because flocks of Straw Necked Ibis

used to invade our paddocks to eat grubs

which thrived under certain weather conditions.

 

White Faced Heron

 

White Necked Heron

…Pacific Heron

Australian White Ibis

Black Cockatoo.   

A bit of a novelty this far south
