While I'm no Aussie, after doing a quick Wikipedia search, there doesn't appear to be a "Queensland Zoo".

Doesn't sound like you're much of an internet searcher either :D

Queensland Zoo opened this year, and features in the ZooChat gallery (a good place to search for zoos, although admittedly there are no photos yet), and its the top result in a Bing search: Queensland Zoo located on the Sunshine Coast

I have to say I don't understand the rationale behind the "no domestics" rule, you have still seen the species if you see a domestic.

hehe well good to know. Not sure why I didn't get any results, though.

I believe the no domestics rule comes from the UK Challenge Threads. And I suppose it's so people can't claim separate breeds as separate listings and also because the real "challenge" here is to see the real wild species.

And it makes sense for this challenge as it is nicer to go out and find red jungle fowl and the few pure subspecies of guinea fowl than the domestic types which would be immediate ticks for everyone.
 
I meant to take part in this challenge sooner but never got around to it :o. Anyway, unless anyone minds I will jump in near the end of the year with my list. Most of these gave come from Warsaw Zoo's great pheasant collection:

1. Western Capercaillie
2. Black grouse
3. Blue-eared pheasant
4. White-eared pheasant
5. Indian peafowl
6. Lady Amherst pheasant
7. Edwards pheasant
8. Elliots pheasant
9. European quail
10. Bare-faced curassow
11. Helmeted guineafowl
12. Himalayan monal pheasant
13. Kalij
14. Great Curassow
15. Helmeted curassow
16. Golden pheasant
17. Silver pheasant
18. Ring-necked pheasant
19. Reeves pheasant
20. Congo peafowl
21. Javan green peafowl
22. Palawan peacock-pheasant
23. Crested wood-partridge
24. Hazel grouse
25. Ruffed grouse
26. Siamese fireback pheasant
27. Swinhoes pheasant
28. Temmincks tragopan
29. Cheer pheasant
 
Well with 2014 coming to a close and already having closed for some people, here are your Top 5 winners:

5) ThylacineAlive/LaughingDove- 29
4) Chlidonias- 34
3) DDcorvus- 39
2) Vogelcommando- 54
1) TeaLovingDave- 58

So it looks like TLD is our big winner this year! Congratulations- you win absolutely nothing!:D

Honestly I'm surprised with how many I scored, even if I did tie for last place!

I know this didn't turn out as popular as the UK Challenge Thread but I still had fun doing it so I will be making a new one for 2015 for anyone who wants to play! TLD and I already came up with a challenge for 2015 and I will be linking to the thread here soon.
