Absolutely. Although commonly called the "blue wren", the correct name for this species is Superb Fairy Wren. Their presence was noted before the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. The species was one of the first from Australia to be described, in 1782, as a result of Cook's voyage to the continent in 1770. Blue wrens are widespread throughout eastern Australia, and have adapted well to European settlement, establishing themselves in parks, gardens and suburbia.
