Fair Dinkum Aussie Alphabet 3: 5 stamps with the one for "G" featuring
Galah (Eolophus roseicapillus) and the one for "J" featuring a
Jabiru (Jabiru mycteria) - a native of South America!
In Australia, the Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus) is also known as a "Jabiru", so perhaps the designer chose the wrong bird for the stamp.
The image is taken from the online version of Stamp Bulletin 349.

Oriental Honey-buzzard (Pernis ptilorhynchus) which is not normally found in PNG. See more on my
blog
Update:
Unfortunately, the designer seems to have invented an image for the Slaty-backed Goshawk and has chosen the wrong photograph for a New Britain Goshawk, selecting one of a
Grey Goshawk (Accipiter novaehollandiae) which is not normally found in PNG. See more on my
blog
Update:
Unfortunately, the designer has chosen the wrong photograph for a Pygmy Eagle, and has chosen one of the closely related
