Australia is home to 850 species of birds, that’s nearly ten percent of the world’s living avian species. I’m Jim Metzner and this is the Pulse of the Planet.
Headphones on. Here’s a montage of birds I recorded some years ago on Mount Lewis in the Carbine Tablelands of Queensland, Australia.
The last recording is a species of bower bird found only in Australia . Nearly half of Australia’s bird species are found nowhere else in the world. If you know of sounds of nature found only in your neck of the woods, we’d like to hear from you. You can contact us on Pulse of the Planet’s Facebook.
