Thursday birdsday!
Splendid fairywrens are found through much of arid and semi-arid Australia, in mulga and mallee woodland. Males will pluck pink and purple flower petals to give to females as a courting gift.

Thursday birdsday!
Featuring one of the most distinctive crests in the cockatoo world, the pink cockatoo is found through much of arid Australia. The species is endangered, largely due to land clearing and habitat fragmentation as they don't nest close to each other.
