Very nice shot of a very handsome bird Wren. Love that iridescent neck and beady yellow eyes, then the black and white body with pink legs. What a masterpiece!
I learn a lot observing in zoos that helps me find and recognize birds in the wild. At the zoo, the bird itself is the point; when birding, the chase is much more important.

oh dear, this one looks artificial. Hard to believe it is real.

That shot made me giggle, he looks like he’s trying to quietly sneak away after smashing a vase for something
He’d just flown in and been rewarded with a fish or other treat, so no wonder he looks pleased with himself.
That bird is better looking than our Wood Storks.
Nice shot!
Isn’t that an interesting bird? Is it native to Australia?
I think so.
Nice close-up photo of this bird – but – its lots harder to get anywhere near them in the wild!
I know.

Great shot of the Black necked Stork, is this a native Australian bird?
I believe so, but will defer to anyone with definitive knowledge.
