Last year Birds
Australia conducted a poll Australia wide to find out what that most popular
bird was state by state. The superb Fairy Wren topped the poll.
It was a very close race
between the Superb Fairy-wren and the Australian Magpie with the final decision
coming down to postal votes. The Hooded Plover made a late surge to take third
place from the better known Rainbow Lorikeet and Laughing Kookaburra.
Let’s find out which one
it was
Outside of breeding season, the male
and the female suberb fairy wren look very much alike. So how can you spot the
difference?
The feathers’ of the tail of the
male fairy wren is a vivid deep blue and the female’s is brown, the beak of the
male is black and the female’s is red.If you can see that well, good luck
to you.

wrens, why not drop us a line to. realworldgardener@gmail.com or write in to 2RRR P.O. Box 644 Gladesville
