Greg,

This site may be of assistance. It has annotated links to 224
resources for about 70 languages and can be found at:
http://www.dnathan.com/VL/.

AusAnthrop (http://www.ausanthrop.net/resources/index.php)might also
be of assistance - you might also contact the linguist David Nash
through his website at: http://www.anu.edu.au/linguistics/nash/.

All of these sites would useful starting points for
ethnoornithological research.

Cheers and good luck Greg - its good to see more Australian
researchers looking at bit more closely at local knowledge and seeing
new ethnoornithological research underway!
