Birds of Australia: Species sorted by appearance

This page contains lists in which bird species are sorted by their appearance (morphology, colour pattern). Birds that fulfil more than one criterion will be listed more than once; for example: A bird that is black and white, with red eyes, will be listed as "black and white" and as a "bird with red eyes". Only species found by us (and described on this website) are included in the lists.
