Megapodius reinwardt
This 'megapodes' fowl is rather common scratching for insects in local parks and backyards. The feathered crest gives its head a prehistoric appearance. This makes me think it is a dinosaur which, actually it kind of is. These build incubator mounds in leaf litter (the scrubturkey is the only other bird in Australia to do so)
Forest floor This was found in a suburban parklands
