Australian
Bustard (Female)
Ardeotis australis.
Bustards were once
common throughout Australia in suitable habitat. They are now considered
to be rare in most of their former range. Unlike most of Australia's
wildlife that has become rare, extinct or endangered in the last 200 years
from loss of habitat the Bustard has been put in a precarious position by
over hunting.
