Birds exist in extraordinary varietyand are notable for plumage, song and powers of mimicry. They includebirds of prey, cockatoos, parrots, parroquets, and lories ; the laughingjackass, and other kingfishers ; the beautiful lyre and bower birds, ground-thrushes, doves, wood-pigeons, numerous game birds, and oneof the largest of running birds, the emu, which being treated as anoxious animal, like the kangaroo, native dog, opossum, and rabbit, is rapidly becoming extinct. The multiplication of the common rabbithas seriously affected pastoral pursuits in many districts, and 17, 000 milesof rabbit-proof fencing have been erected in the eftort to subdue the pest.The whole western frontier is fenced in this way. The camel has beenacclimatised in the Darling districts. Over 300 species of fish (of whichmore than 100 are edible) are found in the rivers and on the coast.40.
