I have to say I never realized just how many species are almost endemic to either the Greater Sunda or New Guinea but then have a tiny mainland distribution either on the Malay Peninsular or in Queensland..

~Thylo

 

Missed one bird from San Diego which I have only found out that it's endemic to Madagascar.

31. Crested coua Coua cristata

 

All coua are only found in Madagascar.

I've identified two more species which add to my total:
