People might have noticed I haven't had a try yet - much easier to
sit back and tell people what doesn't work!

As Grant Brosie says, there are so many options! Wedge-tailed Eagle
could also be in there, along with Brown Falcon, Grey Fantail,
Sulphur-crested Cockatoo and Pallid Cuckoo.

So how's that for an attempt:

Wedge-tailed Eagle,
Brown Falcon
Grey Fantail
Sulphur-crested Cockatoo,
Pallid Cuckoo.
