Here is the list of birds that I have not yet seen in the wild that are of importance to me, that I really want to see in my lifetime. They are listed in no particular order.
Once I have witnessed (and/or taken a photo) of said bird I will place a tick (✔) next to them and they will then be featured on my Master Bird List.
• Palm cockatoo, Probosciger aterrimus
• Blue bonnet, Northiella haematogaster
• Rock parrot, Neophema petrophila
• Eclectus parrot, Eclectus roratus
• Tawny frogmouth, Podargus strigoides
• Dollarbird, Eurystomus orientalis

To be honest, I think I would like to try and see MOST, if not all, species from the parrot and cockatoo family, but I only put the ones that are at the very top of my list for that particular family.
