To bump this, and hopefully get the easy ones... my thoughts:

1/2 Double-eyed Fig-Parrot
3 suspect it's a young fruit dove which are tough. could be Orange-bellied too?
4 Orange-bellied
5 pass
6/7 makes me think one of the Birds of Paradise.
 
Besides female BOPs, also consider some of the larger plain brown honeyeaters. I tried to crop and blow up birds 6 & 7 and it looks like a thin down-curved bill on a mostly brown bird. Sorry I can't be more help. It's difficult with just the pictures - do you have any observation notes?

It was far off and I could just about make these pictures. I don’t have any notes. Thanks for the help.
