https://australian.museum/learn/animals/birds/collared-sparrowhawk/

Collared Sparrowhawks rely on trees or tall shrubs for cover to ambush their prey, darting out to catch small birds. At other times they sit quietly and are very easily overlooked.

The Brown Thornbill will respond to humans imitating its calls.

Bassian Thrush

Subspecies of the Barn Owl are found on every continent in the world except Antarctica.

Barking Owl

The Barking Owl is named for its harsh 'barking' call but can also make a much louder, wailing cry, which has given rise to another name, the 'screaming-woman bird'.

Banded Lapwing
https://australian.museum/learn/animals/birds/banded-lapwing/
