Looked through the bird book, didn't find it there. Google doesn't bring anything up, I think you may be onto something special. Australian Geographic may be willing to pay big bucks for this.

Well spotted Pa, what was it's song like? Looks like it loves hanging in the banksia trees.

Passed it around the museum, and boy are they excited

Great shot - and you did so well to actually spot it - looks pretty well camouflaged

LOL

They're pretty scary birds, those. No matter how many rocks you throw at them, they pretty much won't go away. Very territorial

The first thing that sprang to mind when I seen this was - I wonder how much he got for it on eBay ...

Man that is some weird botanic creation.

It's a pork-pine chicken. They are hell to pluck!
