You should check out the aussie video "song about birds"
If you worry about copyright, do what one of the other reactors does and just stop the video half way through and make comments up to that point for about a minute or two. That way when you start again it is not taken as the same video. It works better than when people try fading out the picture or putting the word copyright all over the place. If you watch a video all the way through without stopping, that is probably when you have been getting copyright issues.
Kookaburras
Whenever I cut my lawn, a pair of Willy wagtail’s would sit very patiently on my letterbox waiting for me to finish so they could swoop down and grab themselves a feed of bugs. Loved watching the little guys dance around with their tail swinging from side to side having a feed.❤
@@firebrand2619 Awww that’s so cute
Since the noisy mynas moved in our Willy wagtails have disappeared,
I love Willy Wagtails, they're like the happy lil puppy of birds
@@DaveOz-mx5oh 👍🐦⬛
Where I work, the Wagtails wait for the interstate semis to pull in. When the trucks move into the dock area, the birds swoop down on the driveway to get the insects that fall off the front of the Prime Movers, (Tractors to u Yanks).
If I hear a currawong or a black cockatoo, it's means it's going to rain & it usually does.
We have Currawongs here every day, they pinch the cat food. We have Black Cockatoo's 2 weeks of the year when they stop over during their migration. 1 week on the the way, one week back. They domlish the plumb trees first trip then get the Apples on the return Trip. White Cockatoo's come through first followed by the Black like clockwork every year.
On the sheep and cropping property I had hundreds of gallahs would swarm the silo spillage every harvest. They would eat so much grain they would become intoxicated with too much weight to fly off. Was so funny watching all these drunk gallahs stumble and roll like a mob of drunk sailors leaving a pub on the first night in port.
They do the same thing at a grain silo at my local stock food suppliers in the middle of a small country Town.
they also do it when trucks spill bits of their load. unfortunately because they cant fly away hundreds get killed
i did a harvest season near merredin WA and all the white cockies would arrive in the morning and make a racket on the roof. they were after the water in the gutters from the A/C unit. they'd fill all the trees around the house. the funny bit was when the grain trucks went past on their way to load up what we'd harvested the night before. the call would go out and fkn hundreds would take off after the trucks. if you were already out there you could track the trucks by their escort.
No, the grain is actually killing them, it’s kidney failure that is affecting them. It’s irreversible once they have they eventually die, generally by a fox or bird of prey. Galah’s, parrots in general are not able to eat a mainly grain diet, it kills them and what you assumed was drunkenness is actually protein poisoning.
The multi coloured Rosella is an Eastern Rosella. All the colours are in a different place from the Lorikeets, red head instead of blue etc. I have a pair at my place but they're much more timid than the Crimson ones who come knocking on my window.
Yes, we are familiar with Paul Reubens...aka Pee Wee Hermon. And yes, I get most of these birds around here apart from the lorikkeets and peewees who are more down the hill. I used to have a brownze wing dove hang around and it was funny to watch it smack out cockys with its raised wing! That bird you paused on is an eastern rosella or as I call it the tomato sauce rosella, as per the mascot on the Rosella tomato sauce bottles. You can tell it's a rosella as against the loikeets. The fairy wrens hang around here but I call them thumb birds as they're so small! The willy wag tails can be vicious little buggers who have a crack at bigger birds than them! Currawongs are like roos...bugger all road sense!
Mate you definitely have to see part 2 .. there are sooo many unique & beautiful Aussie birds.
We live on a small acreage property that backs onto native bushland. We have several birdbaths & drinking bowls in our backyard & a gully with several waterholes. We planted native flowering trees that have attracted numerous birds. Most mornings we get flocks of several parrots, Rainbow Lorrikeets, butcher birds, bower birds, native pidgeons plus kookaburras, magpies & cockatoos. We have a resident colony of Noisy Minors & several families of Wood Ducks. No need for an aviary where we live.
Those pigeons make the most beautiful noise at dusk.
Australia has many honeyeater species which have a brush on the end of their tongue for gathering nectar. The lorikeet always gets a mention as a parrot which has the same feature.
Before Spring every year, we used to have heaps of birds "attacking" our shedding Husky. They would pluck tuffs of her fur out for their nests. Those eggs would have been nice and warm :)
FYI, The laughing kookaburra is far from small, it's the largest species of kingfisher, outsizing even the giant kingfisher in body mass. It is a stout, stocky bird 41-47 cm (16-19 in) in length.
@@rjswas yeah they aren’t tiny by any means but they also don’t seem large enough to me to eat small mammals 😂
@@ToniaElkins True, but you will likely find they mean field mice or rats, nothing larger than that i doubt.
@@rjswas A rat would be huge prey for a kookaburra!
@ Maybe, but as i said, nothing larger than that, i have seen them snatch up larger prey, but not sure if they let them go or what not once they realise they are too big.
We have (Western Australia) what we call "28's" an Australian ringneck parrot... very pretty but not at 4am in the fig tree, 3 meters from my bed their not!
1 was in a palm tree yesterday sharing lunch with a swarm of bees. Was upside down and totally unfazed.
Hi Tonia. Clearly it's cold where you are. I'm sitting here under a bright blue sky in summer's warmth. Some years ago on a visit to Western Australia, my wife and I stopped for lunch in the large kauri forest South of Perth. As we sat outside eating, a blue fairy wren landed on the edge of our table. The blue ball of fluff with a tiny black beak then puffed up and danced around the table, giving me a beak full of attitude. I assume challenging me to a duel. Cute and funny at the same time.
My wife and I stopped at the cafe next to the Mundaring Weir WA, sat down with our cappuccini on the outdoor tables and a parrot ( Aust ringneck ?) flew in, landed on the table, expertly slid across the table on two feet, calmly walked up to my cup and took a sip !
Birds with brush tongues..... in Australia, we have various species of the lorikeet family with brush tongues, along with the honeyeater family, which the noisy miner and red wattlebird belong to, that also have brush tongues. Honeyeaters are a large, diverse family of birds, from Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand and nearby islands. The two families are not related to each other, so have developed their tongues independently through convergent evolution.
Other nectar feeders like sunbirds (best known from Africa) have a tube tongue with a brush at the end, while your hummingbirds have a shape-changing forked tongue that works like a micropump. Because you asked.
We have a pair of honeyeaters at our house, they built a nest from cobwebs, soft fluffy plant material and twigs and grass in a hanging basket on our back patio, they laid two eggs and two babies were born 2 days after christmas day. Now we have two baby honeyeaters come and sleep on another of our hanging baskets each night at about 7.40pm, they sleep the night and leave at @4:0am each morning. We love having them here. We also have kookaburras, a tawny frogmouth, willy wagtails, ravens, doves and magpies along with a few other birds. They are awesome to watch, never had so many birds around any other house we’ve lived in. We’re in Western Australia.
A few years back, I was just about to head to work, when I saw at least 50 gorgeous galahs feasting on the remnants of my front lawn. I live in a country area, so it was no surprise to see them, I just didn’t expect in such a great number. I also love hearing the magpies singing outside and the odd kookaburra laughing. Crows, not so much.
@@Donna_C503 Galahs and cockatoos seem to love eating the kikuyu grass. As well as certain types of weeds.
Tonia you have found a great subject with your bird video's, and numbers are climbing. Great to see the cat's aren't around for the birds vids 😅 . You can see your genuine interest with the Australian birds🤙
A pair of king parrots visited me the other day ( on my windowsill). I’ve never seen them in Sydney before. So beautiful.
Lorikeets are funny guys - they get drunk on nectar and become very rowdy - a bit like kids high on sugar! There are a lot of bottlebrush trees near me and especially in the afternoon/evening, they get louder and louder!
I have a maggie as a pet ,found him at the bottom of a tree took him home only weeks old could not feed himself ,turned out to be one of the best guard dogs for our house great birds love a chat and demanding, he did protect our house and animals, we had bit of a zoo at home
The galah gives us a sensational view in the afternoon near sunset. They travel in huge flo cos and will fly and turn at exactly the same moment.
One moment you will see the flash of cerise pink oath 5e setting sun making it glow the next moment they turn and will disappear entirely because the feathers on the back and top of the wings is grey. So they appear and disappear in flocks of thousands. It is a time to just watch and wonder at nature. Cheers.
A few days ago i said to the wife " do you know how many birds we get in the yard." From a little Wag tail to more parrots than a British pet shop. The Magpie's have a small territory and become friendly and we feed them meat.
Maggies are awesome. we have them turning up to have a snack at breakfast and the evening. The recognise people who treat them well and those who treat them badly. Awesome bird who will keep you backyard "safe"
@@FastRiposte I love Magpies! I think they’re so cool ❤️
I miss all the calls now that I’m in the US. Magpies have such a wonderful call. One morning I went into my front yard and 4 Rainbow Lorikeets were chillin’. It made me stop and watch them. It was like 4 little rainbows.
Cats aren't merely pests in Australia, feral cats are responsible for many, many native animal extinctions. It's difficult to say which is the most ecologically destructive invasive animal in Australia, but cats and foxes are the top ones for mammal extinctions.
It’s why I keep my cats indoors at all times, unless in their carriers… or on a harness & leash. Have done this for almost 30 years with multiple cats.
My backyard literally has almost all of these birds. They come and go freely, not afraid of human, and even befriend with my grumpy cat.
Wattlebirds are crazy - they dont land in trees, they crash land!!
Lorikeets have green backs, Rosellas have a multitude of colours depending on where they live. In South Australia Rosellas are pastel coloured but we see the occasional Crimson one.
Appearance wise from a distance eastern rosellas and lorikeets do look similar but rosellas have a slightly lighter (size) body. If you are familiar with them you can easily distinguish the difference individually but for someone not they would look much the same.
And Rosella’s are the symbol for the Rosella sauce company.
One of my favourite birds around Brisbane Queensland is the Eastern Whip bird in the state forests and small pockets around local area I'm in .One bird (Male) will send a whip crack song out and another one (female)will reply slightly further away With lighter notes.
G,day Tonia, yeah that was a good informational video. I've had a few Rainbow Lorries as pets over the years (hand raised from a pet shop). They are the funniest birds except there more like a cat or dog in behavior, they will roll around on the ground lay on their backs or fronts when sleeping. They will also chase a small ball like a large marble or squash ball, very funny to watch, they can be a handful at times but you can't help but love em lol. But yeah if you put a picture of a Rainbow Lorry and an Eastern Rosella (the bird you thought looked the same as a Rainbow) you can see the difference.
The Rainbows up in Darwin are the same but their colours a just slightly different. In the summer time up there because it gets so hot the fruit that falls from the trees ferments turning it into alcohol. The Rainbows eat it and get drunk and lay around on the ground, people take them to the Vet thinking theirs something wrong with them and the Vet's just tell them "no there fine there just drunk, they'll be ok in the morning" Maybe that's where the saying "As pissed as a parrot" comes from I don't know 🤣
You should also check out the Major Mitchell Cockatoo or also known as the Pink Cockatoo, prettier than all the Cockatoos combined, beautiful bird.
TE! The cats missed out on the bird show? Madness. I get every one of those birds visiting or living at my place and on one occasion even a barking owl. One cat, Naughty Morty, sometimes prowls about and I suspect he's the bird killer. I know the warning calls of some of the birds, "here comes Morty again" so I have to spray him with the hose to make him run away. Much as I love em, cats are supposed to be kept inside or in a cat race here.
@@markkairial Yeah I think cats should be strictly indoors too
I live on the 9th floor of an apartment block on the edge of Sydney city. I have a balcony. I put a large stone dish out there and get rainbow lorikeets on my balcony every day. They are quite funny and climb all over me. Every now and then I get a pair of Kookaburra's with a fledgling. I feed them strips of lean beef. Sometimes, I get a Sulphur crested Cockatoo turning up. It lets me hand feed it, walnuts.
My soft spot goes to the Peewee I remember years ago caught in heavy traffic when a Peewee flew on my driver's side mirror and proceeded to peck at it's reflection , I love these little birds ❤❤❤❤
I get all these in my yard on a regular basis, the Rosella , specifically the Eastern Rosella differs from the Rainbow lorikeet in the head colour Rainbows have Blue heads but the Eastern Rosella have red.
Yes. Paul Reuben is an Icon.
Like most of the world, 🇦🇺 TV is inundated with American shows.
We grew up watching Sesame Street, but you guys did not get our other childhood staple "Play School", which has been on air since July 1966!
Play School host Noni Hazelhurst famously went viral reading the (adult) children's book, "Go the fuck to sleep" 😂
G'day! Where I used to live in outer Sydney our huge garden backed onto s small area of bush and we would get over 30 species of birds visit the garden until the noisy miners arrived! They chased all but 4 species away. That included the rainbow lorikeets who don't take no shit from anyone! The rosella which was confusing you was an Eastern rosella. Kookaburras are clearly larger than you think...They are the largest member of the kingfisher family in the world. From end of tail to tip of bill they are up to 600mm or 23 inches. There are two species the laughing Kookaburra as seen in the video and the smaller blue-winged Kookaburra found in far northern Australia... Loving your reactions to our amazing land! Cheers!
At one pt when I went to get pet food from the pet shop, they had a few lorikeets that were free to fly in the store but tended to be near their cage, near the counter. There was this one beautiful bird that would clean my teeth; people would come in and look at me, because a bird had her whole head in my mouth. She started it, she always initiated it and we had a great relationship. I miss her, she was fantastic.
Depending on the time of year, my street gets flocks of Galahs flying around (about 5pm) & resting on the powerlines. I live in a large rural town in the Central West of New South Wales.
I love the crested Pigeons . If I put the sprinkler on in Summer there will be a dozen or more laying on their sides with one wing in the air & having a good cool down & shower.
7:26 Yes, corvids are the broad group of birds (family) that crows, ravens and a few other species are part of.
@@DarkMatter1992 Ok thanks. I’d never heard of the group Corvid before.
14:12 Lorries have a red beak, slightly slimmer build, slightly smaller build, different plumage, namely the blue head, the devil's or red eye, different call and a far more aggressive behaviour. A Lorry is a 'hold my beer' character whilst the Rosella's more of a refined shy laid back personality. Sadly, lorries are taking over alot of territory that Rosella's have in various states.
Magpie-larks have been called PeeWees in Qld for decades, long, long before Mr Herman took the name.
My willie wag tails love sitting on, and walking all over the local kangaroos. The kangaroos don't mind at all. I suspect the birds are eating the many insects that live in the fur of the kangaroos. I have lots of videos of this, but you can't put videos in you tube comments.
You should be able to link to a video here.
@anzaeria they are stored on my phone.
Cats ARE pests, especially when they're feral. There's plenty of information online about feral cats, and the reasons why they're hated in Australia.
Even people who own and love cats will agree (me)
The Rainbow lorikeet has a blue head and a bigger rounded beak, the eastern rosella has a red head and smaller beak. Colours are different. Just saw both in the yard yesterday.
I’m 74 and I have never been swooped by any birds ever. A family of magpies lives near my house but they recognise me coming and going so they never need to swoop.
I got swooped on my second month in Australia aged 11. Lost a shoe but my eyes survived
Corvids are birds in the genus Corvus which includes crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, nutcrackers, and non-Australian magpies. Species within the genus are found all over the world and Australia has five of them, three ravens and two crows.
The feathers of the crested pigeon are iridescent which is why they appear to have many colours.
As he said, there are six species of rosellas. The one you said looked like a rainbow lorikeet is an eastern rosella. Rainbow lorikeets are smaller than rosellas and, of the more than fifty species of parrot in Australia, they are the only ones with a blue head.
The crested pigeon’s wing feathers are iridescent, which is why they show different colours.
Cockatoos, gallahs etc as you saw in the video are seasonally common every day events. That isn't even a lot in that photo, in my areas those trees in the background would be just as full and those trees will be stripped bare in a couple days.
Aussies are definitely aware of Paul Ruebens (AKA: Pee Wee Herman).
be it Pee Wee Herman movies, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Flight of the Navigator and I still crack up seeing him in The Blues Brothers movie.
The vast majority of Aussies are very much aware of world personalities, actors, singers from common to abstract depending on their individual interests.
You wont find many Aussies that do not know of some actor, singer, personailty or other world knowledge. Same with most other countries.
Sadly only America is very isolationist and is lacking a worldly awareness. (not intending to be rude, it is just a fact as it is influenced heavily by their educations curriculum system).
I live in Australia in Adelaide and I absolutely love the bird life here I've had many pet magpies that were friends with my other pets like my cat bagwood eat together out of the cat bowl
The linemen fit wire collars around the insulators,like circular hay rakes,trying to keep cockies away from the active lines.now and again a cockie or a flying fox will bridge two phases with the wings . Pop.a brief power drop until the carcase is cooked or falls..
Magpie-lark, also called the Murray magpie in South Australia
Note that the bird on the SA flag is a Piping Shrike, a different bird to the Magpie-lark.
Had a Kookaburra take a 7 week old kitten a few years back. really surprised me. Hobart.
Many classical compositions are in the public domain and can be used without copyright concerns. This includes works by composers like Beethoven, Mozart, and Vivaldi.
Very true. Though sometimes the recordings of those musical compositions can be protected by copyright (when performed by contemporary musicians.)
The Australian magpie is probably the most common bird we have , they are black on their back and white on the chest up north but the other way around down south . They are easily the most aggressive when nesting of all birds but the spur wing plover is also aggressive and as the name suggests the males have a spur thats actually poisonous on their wing . The little mud lark doesn't bother anyone . The nests of the Wiggy wag tail is the cutest , neatest nest of all time . Only the finches build anything like it. They are the Jack Russel of the bird world and will take on anything including cats and snakes.
That particular rosella does look like a rainbow lorikeet , but the Rosella is bigger .
Australia has a lot of birds of pray including the gigantic wedge tailed eagle that has a wing span over 6 foot wide. They can feed off kangaroos . I love the fairy wrens too , their blue is spectacular .
Ive done reading online and there's no mention of magpies having a poisonous spur. Ive never head of any bird that produces poison or venom.
@@anzaeria The spur wing plover is the one with the poison gland . Not the magpie .
I'm an Aussie and remember pee wee Herman. I didn't watch much of him but remember the movie mostly.
One thing I have to say, birds are not as fussy about where they nest as some would have you believe. They make do with what is available. Where I live we have everything nesting in the immediate area including Wedgetail nesting in young trees, not old growth. All they require is water and food.
Magpie-larks are also called Pipingshrikes! I’ve never heard them call Peewees 😂
But yeah, there’s a lot of very beautiful birds here. Lorikeets and Rosellas are actually very easy to tell the difference between… Lorikeets are very green, while Rosellas are, well, red. The only ones that have more green are Green Rosellas, and young Crimson Rosellas. And even then, they’re missing the blue face and orange chest of the Lorikeet.
Another random bird fact is that the patterns on Magpies are actually unique to areas! Down where I live we have white-backed Magpies.
I also recommend checking out the different species of Cockatoos, they really are beautiful birds. Major Mitchell’s and Red-Tailed Black’s are my personal favourites
Corvidae or corvids is the family that ravens and crows belong to
The bird you thought looked like a Rainbow Lorikeet was an Eastern Rosella and actually looks nothing like a Rainbow Lorikeet.
Australian here. Yes, we know Peewee Herman. Peewees don’t swoop.
They swoop car roofs repeatedly. And mirrors.
I suppose that rosellas and rainbow lorikeets can look similar in that they are both very colourful birds. Though they have different colours in different areas on the body. Lorikeets have a blue head and many rosella species have a red head.
TE! Every time I drive past the "falling rocks" sign it reminds me of Pee Wee Herman. That sign is right near where the house slid down the cliff. Maybe they'll change the sign to "falling houses"?
@@markkairial Lmao
The only pee wee's I have seen swoop were doing it to cats or dogs.
There’s a nasty TikTok vid somewhere I’ve seen where a peewee actually attacked the eye of a girl and she was very lucky that it just got its beak into the socket not into the actual eyeball. But I agree peewees are not normally feared as much as magpies and don’t really have a reputation for sweeping like the magpies
They hate reflective paint on car roofs, the newer the car the better
As an Australian I can tell you for a fact that noisy mynas are a terrible ,terrible bird that will attack any bird in its territory even pet birds in cages and have driven other smaller birds like silver eyes,wrens,honeyeaters,wattle birds ,sparrows out of the city,Definitely not a nice bird. And yes we know Pee wee Herman the comedian
You're probably more likely to be swooped by a magpie than a magpie lark. This is because Ive been swooped many times by magpies. I only recall experiencing one swoop by a magpie lark. And when that lark swooped me from behind, it planted it's claws on my head very firmly. No pain at all but it was annoying. It had a lot of nerve to do that.
Rainbow lorikeet have a purple head making them easier to distinguish them from the Rosella.
The Willy Wagtail are a beautiful little bird in our local area their indigenous name ig byity dyity which is pretty much what they sound like.
Rosellas are larger than Lorikeets and quite a bit fatter.
Rosellas can be multicolored or predominantly one color (like the red ones shown) Depends on what region you are in. .
They mate for life (as do Lorikeets) and always fly and forage together in mated pairs. . . So if you see a Rosella (or Lorikeet) in the wild, you can be 99% certain that there is another one within 10 to 15 yards.
I literally have every one of these around my house or in my backyard.
1) I believe other birds have a similar type tongue as Rainbow Lorikeets
2) Corvids are a group of birds where Ravins and Crows are included under this title..
3) I have heard of pewee Herman.. But i have not watched anything to do with Him
4) No peewee's are not as aggressive and being smaller birds their impacts will not be as powerful anyway..
5) A Rosella will on average be 2 to 3 times bigger then Rainbow Lorikeet.
My two favorites.. Rosella because of the stunning colorful beauty And the Willy Wagtail because no other bird can out maneuver it in combat.. The large tail in relation to the body size of the willy wagtail gives it awesome directional changing ability..
I have heaps of galahs, 28 parrots and red cap parrots visiting my bird feeder.
I’ve heard Americans speak of Peewee Herman and I’ve seen black and white photos of him, but I have never seen a video of him or know anything else about him or what he does. As far as I know, he has never been on TV here.
The Rosella with all the colours is actually the logo for Arnott’s biscuits, another Australian iconic product line including Tim Tam Biscuits.
Rosellas generally have red heads while Rainbow Lorikeets, which are smaller, have blue heads. Here’s a comparison list:
“What is the difference between Lorikeets and Rosellas?
• Lorikeets are small to medium sized parrots with an upper weight limit of about 130 grams, whereas rosellas are medium in size, and their maximum-recorded weight is almost 170 grams.
• Lorikeets have a higher taxonomic diversity and larger distribution in the world than the rosellas.
• Brush-tipped tongue, tapered wings, and pointed tails are unique to lorikeets. However, rosellas do not have specialized tongues, but they have characteristically broad tails, which are long.
• Lorikeets are hyperactive birds with an extremely fast and easy flight, and those give them clownish characters. However, rosellas are not extremely fast flyers but their head scratching by foot that come behind the wing makes them unique, in addition to food holding behaviour, while eating.
• Food habits are different between these two as lorikeets being exclusive fruit and nectar feeders, while rosellas being omnivorous.”
Incorrect. The Arnott’s biscuit bird is a Macaw, which is a Mexican bird. The Rosella is the symbol of the Rosella sauce company (probably hence the company name).
@ Wow! My whole life I believed it was a Rosella! How strange to choose a Macaw for an Australian company!
The Splendid Wrens in WA make the one featured in the video look drab. They have the same lacquer blue colour but all over. Also the Butcher Birds we have here in the mid west have a song very like a Magpie but I think better.
Many Aussies over 40 would know who Pee Wee Herman/Paul Reubens is, just through media but the show wasn't popular here, so most people probably wouldn't.
The bird at 14.07 is an Eastern Rozella.
Rosellas are bigger than lorikeets. there are a variety of lorikeets as well but the rainbow lorikeet is the most common.
Peewees don’t attack as much as magpies, although some individuals are more aggressive than others. They definitely aren’t as dangerous. Most of their swoops are feints; they deliberately fly short and rarely make contact with an ear or eye like magpies do. And peewees are no where near as intelligent as magpies. They will attack their own reflection, whereas magpies know it’s their reflection.
@@ceramicemu2063 Lmao that’s hilarious!!!
A peewee did get a good grasp of my head with it's claws when it swooped me from behind. No pain though.
In the last 5 years I have had to replace my tv antenna 4 times because of galahs breaking them under their weight.
Rainbows eat flowers & get very drunk & aggressive. Pee Wees or Angry little bastards often found attacking you side mirrors. Another bird that builds a nest out of spider web is the little Sunbird. You might wake up one morning with this long thing with a blob on the end swinging in the back doorway. That blob is the nest. It's as big as a billiard ball. You can walk in & out all day, they don't care. I suppose, size wise, they are about as bigas a small hummingbird. They live in the north of Australia.
Western Australia has local parrots called 28’s cos that’s what they sound like there saying.
Surprised there was no mention of the Cockatoo varity called the Corella, also nearly all white but smaller than the Sulphur Crested they too are extremley intelligent but with a slightly meaner attitude!
willy wagtails are almost impossible to hit with a car
I loved pee wee in one of the Cheech & Chong Movie
I heard another reacter say the bird clips get copyrighted bc a lot use the clip of the lyrebird from a david attenborough documentary
What about the willy wagtail??? Surely it will be in part 2.
Noisy Miners are related to hummingbirds.
Pee Wee's Big Adventure was great movie
1:34 Talking (reacting) is the whole point.
G'day all,
Just on the cockatoos they are pretty to look at if they are in their natural habitat, But while working in broken hill on the mines I took a load of trash to the dump. There you will see instead of fluffy white parrots, grey dirty disgusting birds happily fighting each other over whatever they can find. It is a big attraction for them as broken hill is in the middle of pretty much barren desert and scrub.
oh and magpies very easy to deal with if you have to go past them every day. stay calm don't try to hit them as they will remember you.
Walk slower than before showing them doing this makes you stay longer and keep your eyes on them all the time. within a few days they will remember you and not bother.
15:01 Kookaburras are pretty large birds. . . about a foot tall from feet to the top of the head (not including the tail) . . DEALY sharp pointed beak . . Fairly solid build too. . Not a fragile bird at all
Pretty much most of the famous American actors/characters are known in Australia
Rainbow lorieet has a blue head
@@1legend517you can tell the difference between a rainbow lorikeet and an eastern rosella because the lorikeet has a blue head as he mentioned, and the rosella has a red head. I found this out previously when learning about our birds
@@suemoore984 Oh yeah you're right. They have the blue head. My bad. I must've been thinking of another parrot. The lovebird maybe. Yeah that's right the rosellas have the red head and look a bit like a budgerigar.
Only male magpies swoop during nesting season (spring) and only 10% of males actually do that (the other 90% can't be bothered - no one knows why).
I don't think you understand copyright law, the classical music that he is playing in the video is not protected under copyright as it is too old.
If the music was claimable, then the original video would be taken down.
small mammal could be a mouse. A Kookaburra eats snakes as well so a mouse is nothing.
Just a tip. If you post a copyright disclaimer, just before you post the video, they should leave you alone. The copyright holders are only trying to protect their rights. So if you post a disclaimer, they will realise you are not trying to claim their property.
