Australia is often referred to as the land of parrots. We have more than 56 species
of parrots, from the smallest, the double-eyed fig parrot (Cyclopsitta diophthalma), to the largest, the palm cockatoo (Probosciger aterrimus). 
Many Aboriginal creation stories across Australia will tell you that
birds are connected to the spreading of fire. Often cheeky birds would steal fire and accidentally drop it as they fled, inadvertently gifting it to
everyone.
