The icon is a Gang Gang Cockatoo, which is a pretty cool bird and also the ACT faunal emblem.

It is a bit of an odd name really. I suspect it's due to a combination of their size, many having some orange colouring, and their habit of making off with your fruit come night time.
Just another name for fruit bats
Look at the face. It's just like a fox.
But hey... free flying fox?
