BeardsleyZooFan is incorrect, but Ituri is correct on all counts.

1. ?
2. Southern Cassowary chick (Gorge Wildlife Park)
3. Golden shouldered parrot (Gorge Wildlife Park)
4. Apostlebird (Cleland Wildlife Park)
5. Plumed Whistling ducks (Cleland Wildlife Park)

Number 1 has me pretty vexed. It honestly is reminiscent of a horned parakeet (in it's head particularly) but I can't seem to find any Australian parrot species that match this photo.

Is it a rosella? A hybrid perhaps?

just thought I'd point out that this thread (in its current truncated form) is once again the top most-replied-to thread on Zoochat with over 120 more replies than the next highest rating.

I think everyone deserves congratulations for wasting so much time

Ituri and Pygathrix are both almost correct in trying to guess #1.

The clue here is that I took this pic in the wild, just outside Adelaide.

You know what? I think I'll give both Ituri and Pygathrix a point for #1, because it is indeed a hybrid (albeit a naturally occurring one), with some crimson rosella blood in there.

It is called an Adelaide rosella.

Looking at the tally, I think that Ituri wins, and can post the next pics.

3. The hair looks like it belongs to a Visyan Warty Pig.
4. Rabbit?
5. A species of Ground Squirrel perhaps?

Two correct, two on the right track but more specificity needed, and one that is reasonably close.
