Aussie birds lack fashion sense too


I spent an enjoyable couple of hours yesterday at Wildlife World, an admittedly touristy institution in Darling Harbour next to the aquarium that has a small but well-done collection of native animals. They have a great bird exhibit, and amongst the many birds was the topknot pigeon, which looks like nothing other than a bird with a mullet. Fits right in!

(Note: the birds I saw seemed to have some of the "hair" flopping forward, increasing the mullet look from this photo, taken from here.)
