Everyone knows the Kookaburra, the Emu, and the Cassowary, but there are plenty of other cool birds in Australia that even the locals overlook. The Currawong, althought looking like a crow that dipped it's tail in some white paint, is not in fact, a corvid. It also doesn't have the terratorial agressiveness of a good old Aussie magpie. What makes them particularly neat are their beautiful voices.
