Wild Birds of Australia

Follow the story of Harry and Sally, a pair of little penguins. These flightless, flippered birds create some of the noisiest neighbourhoods in nature.

The Emu is Australia's biggest native bird and is the second largest bird in the world after the African ostrich, two metres tall, with an almost three metre running stride and totally flightless.

Australia's birds of prey are some of the region's fiercest predators. These highly specialised killers are powerful, resourceful, striking and use some impressive weapons to survive.

Successful breeding is critical to the survival of any bird species and this time we meet four species of birds which go to exceptional lengths to find mates and raise their young, giving the next generation the best chance of life.
