About These Birds
雞尾鸚鵡
玄凤鹦鹉是凤头鹦鹉科中体型最小的成员，也是全球最受欢迎的宠物鸟之一。这些温顺的澳大利亚鸟类体长约30厘米，以其独特的橙色面颊斑、黄色头冠和灰色身体为特征，雄鸟颜色更为鲜明。原产于澳大利亚内陆干旱地带，以种子和浆果为食。
Emu
The emu is the second-tallest living bird and the largest bird native to Australia. It is the only bird with calf muscles, enabling powerful running at up to 50 km/h. In the famous Emu War of 1932, the Australian military was deployed against crop-raiding emus — and the emus arguably won.
