The magnificent aerial birds
Frigatebirds do not swim. They cannot walk well also and are unable to take off from any flat surface. Essentially aerial, they spend majority of their lives flying; they can even stay aloft for more than a week landing on trees or cliffs only to roost or breed.

The Frigatebirds
The frigatebirds are large seabirds with black feathers( the females have white underbelly). They have long wings, tails and bills. The male frigatebird has a red gular pouch which is inflated during the breeding period to attract a mate.

We can't stop laughing....
Kookaburra is known as "laughing bird" for its call sound like raucous laughter. It seems their "laughter" can be heard at anytime of the day, but more frequently after dawn and after sunset. I am yet to have this wonderful experience of hearing this "cheerful laughter" of the Autralian bush.

"Kookabura sits in an old gum tree...."
I am sure all of us are familiar with this popular Australian nursery rhyme on this cheerful laughing bird, right?

Australia maxicards - Shanghai World Expo 2010 ( 18.05.2010)
The Shanghai World Expo 2010 takes place from 1 May to 31 October 2010, with over 190 participating countries. "Peng Peng" (鹏鹏) is the name of the welcoming Australian kookaburra mascot featured on the stamp.
"Peng" is indeed a very well-chosen name - the character "Peng"(鹏) evokes a sentiment of ambition and glory in Chinese (鹏程万里) and “Peng”(朋) also means "friendship" in Mandarin.
