Australian bird names
For all practical purposes the NEW, modern names for birds, as listed below, should be used.
Alternative (often old) names are given for many bird species on their respective pages. They are provided for the benefit of those who have grown up with the old names. Use the search engine to find the bird under its modern name. Most of the old names are from the book "What bird is that?" by Nevil Cayley (1955 edition). Note that many old names are not unique (marked with "*"), some are misnomers and in some cases new scientific research has led to entirely new names for birds (including their scientific classifications). To name an example, there are at least three bird species that used to be called "Banana-bird" in the past.
Aboriginal bird names
Where available, aboriginal bird names - mostly in the languages of current-day north-western New South Wales [gamilaraay and yuwaalaraay] - are listed next to both common and scientific names. They are also given in the headers of the respective pages describing the bird species.
So far, we have identified the following aboriginal bird names that are still OFFICIALLY in use as common names: boobook, brolga, budgerigar, galah, jabiru, kookaburra. Various spellings of these names exist, partly based on different pronunciations in various aboriginal languages or dialects, partly due to difficulties in translating them, in a phonetically correct way, into modern English.
There are many aboriginal names for entire families of birds, such as e.g. "ducks": chippia, kultown, murrara, tharalkoo. Since these are not specific to one particular bird species, they are not used here. Only names for individual species are listed, such as, e.g., "deereeree" for Willie Wagtail.
Complete index of all Australian bird species
This list comprises all bird species presented in Michael Morcombe's "Field Guide to Australian Birds" (first edition). NOTE: Only bird species native to Australia are listed here. No introduced species are listed or shown. Names of species spotted by us are shown in boldface italics font as clickable links. Names of bird species not (yet) seen by us are given in brackets, in smaller, grey font and are not clickable.
Australian bird species are listed by both their common names (e.g., "Apostlebird") and their scientific names (e.g., "Struthidea cinerea"). To search for a bird with a composite name, such as "Grey-crowned Babbler", go to "Common names", then the letter "B" for "Babbler, Grey-crowned". Alternatively, use the search engine in the header above.
