Wow, those are awesome. I honestly hope I visit Australia some time. The Minnesota bird collection mostly consists of robins:( jk, there are some cool birds here too that I wouldn't trade for anything else, but more north woodsy kinds rather than tropical birds.MELBOURNIAN BIRD COLLECTION:
All these can be seen in Melbourne city or suburbs (we have more common birds like mynahs, introduced pigeons, crows and magpies. Also kookaburra and emus cant be found in suburbs)

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

What's it like where you live?

Yeah, all of those birds look really neat. The birds at my place aren't all that fancy, but their calls are really nice.MELBOURNIAN BIRD COLLECTION:

Also, update on the heat wave that hit my area on the beginning of the week... it gets to, like, 90 degrees by 9 in the morning, and it stays super hot, even at night... help me ;-;
Damn, I'm so jealous of your wildlife in 'Stralia. I always had a thing for animals of all kinds and the lack of the more "interesting" species in Turkey is saddening. Most of the species here are either endemic to tiny parts of the country (like the ocellated mountain viper), or just really common (like sparrows and toads).MELBOURNIAN BIRD COLLECTION:

I live in a small town in the UK called Stamford. It's a nice place - most of the people (that I've met) are nice people, the crime is pretty low, and while the night life could be better I'm not into that kind of stuff so it doesn't bother me. It is quite a middle class town, and when the annual horse trials are in town the roads get clogged up like hell, but I quite like it. Rent's reasonable too.
I live in Morocco, on the Atlantic coast, near Casablanca.
It's a pretty nice place for a foreigner, although a little less nice when you're Moroccan and risk getting shunned out of society by revealing you're not Muslim and facing the wrath of a hypocritical and often borderline schizophrenic culture every day
Gotta add this country feels more and more like a cyberpunk dystopia, but without the cool aesthetics
Take this opinion with a grain of salt, as it is coming from someone that doesn't really feel attached to his country's culture

I'm not normally into birds (of the winged variety), but those are some beautiful birds, and good camerawork too.
Maybe we should just make a "cool wildlife in your area thread". Would people be down for that?
I'd definitely be interested!
Shoot, I need to carry my camera at all times now to try to catch a photo of the resident fox.
Well, we can just kinda lump that in with this thread, since the wildlife in your area helps define it, so if any of you guys want, you can start sharing pics of wildlife and stuff of your area here.
I have no interesting wildlife where I live :/
I really like living on Long Island though. The weather is nice most of the time (although recently, it's been super hot x.x). I live reasonably close to the northern coast, so there are a lot of beaches to visit, although I prefer hanging out in the pool in my backyard :)
also almost everyone is italian. Wtf.

I live in Wales, which (if you don't know) is next to England.
It mostly rains over here, but since it's summer now, the temperatures are going up to about 25 degrees Celsius. The town that I live in is pretty quiet. There's a shopping place and a few parks n' stuff but nothing too amazing. It's cool here I guess, but the capital, Cardiff is where it's at!

I hope i don't come off as ignorant, but in Wales do you guys consider yourself as part of Great Britain (kinda like the states in the US if you know what I mean) or more of your own country. For example, if you were traveling to another country would you say "I'm from the United Kingdom" or "I'm from Wales"?
I'd say I'm Welsh but yes, technically I am from GB too. It's quite a debated topic, actually. I think that most people from Wales would say that they're Welsh but some would avoid it because it can cause confusion against foreigners.
Wales definitely has the cooler flag, so probably a good call on your part haha.
Thanks man
Woah, I also live on Long Island's north coast! I also live around a few minutes from a northern beach, but nothing beats the ocean beaches on the south shore!
I live In Dominican Republic, depending on where you go for a tour, you can either heavily crowded cities with fancy stuff and whatnot, or you can find stuff like this!
Ofc that's assuming you just passed by for some vacations. But it's a nice place to live, not too lousy in the neighbourhood I am.

Seems like my kind of place, I'll have to go there some day.I live In Dominican Republic, depending on where you go for a tour, you can either heavily crowded cities with fancy stuff and whatnot, or you can find stuff like this!

I'm from Ohio, and to be honest it's kinda boring. We get every single kind of weather imaginable here, from temps so cold we have to close school to heat waves so bad we... well we have to close school. In fact last year we had snow, rain, and 80 degree temperatures all within 5 days. Depending on where you are in Ohio, the people and areas vary greatly. There are lot of rural areas (like where I live) that like to pretend they're from the south, and then there's the more urban areas like Cleveland (the most depressing place in the whole fucking world) and Cincinnati. I go to the University of Cincinnati, which I thoroughly enjoy, as I much prefer the people and lifestyles in the city to my more rural home. There are some fun places to go like King's Island and Cedar Point (amusement parks), but I can't really do that all the time because it can get expensive. If you're into disappointing sports teams, Ohio is absolutely the perfect place for you, as basically every team we house ends up either being good and then losing in terrible ways, or just being total ass in the first place (except for Cincinnati FC, they're actually good and extremely fun to go see).
P.S. VGC U.S. Nats is in Columbus, OH this year, so if you're anywhere near there you should totally come and watch!

I live in Roseburg. There are a lot of trees here, I guess, which is cool.
I have relatives in Youngstown that I visit once in a while and Ill agree that it was kinda...boring. Not that many people there and it had this kind of sad vibe to it, compared to where I live where it's really densely populated and there's always some kind of thing going on.
