Magpie Goose - Anseranas semipalma

This waterbird can be found in northern Australia and southern New Guinea. Once found widespread in southern Australia but later disappeared largely due to the drainage of the wetlands where they once bred. Magpie Geese will nest on the ground or in trees with some males mating with two females which can be beneficial for the chicks as when predation is high more chicks are likely survive.
