Australia's native Birds

All the continents having their native plants and animals, flora and fauna respectively the biological terms. Though Kangaroo, Koala, Black Swan, Cape Barren goose are the strictly native to Australia but other than those I found some of the birds and animals who are exclusively native to this southern hemisphere continent.

Emu : Large flightless bird native to Australia. Due to the small size of head compare to the body size both the Emu and Ostrich having lesser brain development. They are so good in running.

Ostrich are native to Africa, though both looks alike but Ostrich is bigger in size than Emu and it has 3 toed foot but Emu having 2 toed foot.
