If you're unsure where to find birds then sharing where you are goes a great way towards helping others determine what you might see and where.
For example, I live in the Dandenong Ranges and birds are abundant here. In my own yard but at local parks and lakes too. And we see a wide range of birds from tiny wrens to honeyeaters. to larger birds such as blackbirds and bassian thrushes, then magpies and right through to kookaburras, rosellas and cockatoos - several varieties.
So, if you want to know where to find birds please start with your location and someone here is sure to be able to help you.
