Hi, hoping I haven't missed the requests window - could you please do one (some!) of the Australian fairy-wrens? They're not actually wrens but they are tiny and cute and cheeky and one of my favourite types of bird. They bounce. The Superb Fairy-Wren Malurus cyaneus is just gorgeous (SE Australia, eg Victoria.) Or there are the Emu Wrens (neither emus nor wrens) which are even tinier, eg the Southern Emu-wren Stipiturus malachurus which has a lifelong bad hair day. Southern Australia incl Victoria, but for some reason not around the Great Australian Bight, only east and west. Thankyou!
