If these birds where boxers they would be described as pound for pound the best fighters in the world. We have a resident wagtail in our yard. I've seen chase away crows dogs and cats, and have been swooped for 50 odd metres walking down the street. Love these little guys.
I adore little willy wagtails, their little dance reminds me of little girls showing off their dresses! Always arrive to help when gardening. So inquisitive! I can hear doves cooing here too ~ Beautiful video! ~ Thank you :)
Awwe! I wish I had one that wasn't painfully shy! That's the kind we have, if get to see it, around but Blessed that shared so much as if I were there too. =)
I have many nesting in my trees and they truly are wonderful little guys. They also seem to have the patience of saints when teaching their young. I too, have seen them chasing the larger birds away. Also my cats run from them, incredible!
They really are not afraid of humans at all... I was sitting in my backyard once and one landed on the arm rest of my garden chair. Scared the crap out of me =P
I see three or four of them in my frontyard or backyard in Perth daily. They forage for insects or maybe worms? Their tails really do wag a lot. Love watching them.
A wagtail squared up against my truck... I had to stop so I didn't run over the lil' guy. I ran back and forth peering up at me as I slowly began inching forward to see if it would fly away. It ran to the side eventually and watched the truck as I passed it by. I love the tiny fellas. They're so brave.
Tip: don’t trick Willie wag tails and make it think there is food around it when your just throwing air or moving the grass. If you keep doing that, it won’t come to you house and find another owner
WHAT A GREAT GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU SO MUCH MATE!!! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVE THIS BIRD, HOW LUCKY FOR YOU TO HAVE SUCH A AMAZING BOND WITH THIS LITTLE BIRD.

We have a willy in our garden he supervises us he doesn't do the hard work he reaps the benefits and then when he wants a bath he is extremely vocal if the bird bath does not have enough water in it we fill it up he has a bath then he clickerty clacks and goes to bed he is so special.
We also have baby magpies...i've just uploaded a compilation of their antics over the last couple of weeks. Willy comes and goes...last saw him a week ago :)
i have a willy wagtail that hangs around my backyard, when ever i mow the lawns he comes down to grab any insects that are exposed in the lawn after ive mowed it lol!
Yeah that's commonplace for them. When you rake leaves one will often hang out right next to you to dive on bugs. This guy seems impatient, he's going Come on, get digging! We're missing the best ones! I've had one right on my shoe while I rake up so he can catch his lunch. It was windy and raining so he kept sheltering behind my foot. They're known for fearlessness, I've never heard of them pecking but they will dive right at your face to scare you away from their patch. They have this angry chittering sound which means Get outta here! And there's also that sweeter song this guy sings, sounds like a mix of both - Thanks for the bugs, but can we hurry it up? kind of thing. They are sweet little guys and very smart for such a small bird.
they're known for being brave and tenacious. they often harass anything they decide is a threat but are mostly bouncy, curious, impatient, easily distracted and relatively slow to scare. I've seen them harass a large goanna (monitor lizard) before. they genuinely dgaf lol they're like the terriers of birds
had one of these sit next to me when i was fishing with family it was hanging around catching the flys that where trying to get the the fish it was so cute coz it was making its noises while we spoke to it they are really wonderful bird they are :D
Woke up this morning to the nest of baby willie wagtails gone...the entire nest. The parents are still around so am hoping the babies have been re-located 😊 they are such beautiful creatures and are very protective of their young 😊
Cheeky boy so sweef love you cute pet willy adorable tail
Willy Wagtail is very happy that you dug up those bugs for him!
So sweet
Dirt lunchbox! lol He was certainly waiting for a big fat worm to turn up...

They're fearless hey! I've seen them go after Wedge Tailed Eagles!
So cute and so brave!
Same they fear nothing! Ours will sit on the fence while I mow the lawn and will swoop down on bugs being disturbed and has a field day...lol
They're the Jack Russell Terrier of the bird world.

Awwe! I wish I had one that wasn't painfully shy! That's the kind we have, if get to see it, around but Blessed that shared so much as if I were there too. =)
yep, if i was to b a bird in the next life, it wouldnt b an eagle, it'd definetly b a willie wagtail,
so cute ! This bird doesn't fear man at all, does it? I'm hoping for this relation between hu man and bird to continue eternally.
Nature Watcher HideKing for some reason willie wagtails are actually very friendly! I have had many get close, they are a very curious bird!

I have two Willie Wagtails hang around me around work and my girlfriend's place. I love them both I call them both my sons.🐦
And I thought Catbirds were friendly/brave. I wish we had Willy Wagtails in Maryland (Eastern USA).
He wanted you to dig!! Damn it help him dig!!
"And I'm certain that I
Won't get sickity-sick
From saying clickity-clickity-click"
Anyone remember that song from Dot and the Kangaroo? :)

You are so lucky to have a Willie Wagtail like that. I believe your story.
What a lovely video, and hearing him speak. It reminds me of chooks when you dig the garden. Thanks for sharing
Gratitude.
I am so jealous! What a privilege to have such close interaction with a wild creature. They really are fearless and feisty.

What a character! I don't have them here in Oregon, are they all this sociable?

they are really wonderful bird they are :D
I come and watch this video from time to time because it’s rather relaxing, and I love Wagtails in general.
Just love them birds thanks
Such friendly birds, there are a few that live around my house and uni, I can always get quite close and have a chat with them :)
They are so tame at my place they sit on my shoulder and try to pull my hearing aids out,they also love to perch on my beer glass
Sweet-pretty-little-creature noise haha
Thank you for uploading, what a magical moment you had, this is joy and happiness ❤️
so cute!
Too cute. Thanks for sharing
Wow, how extraordinary to have one so close!
What an experence!
Great and beautiful.
so very cute, i have a bird in my yard lately with a beautiful call. But i am not sure what it looks like does sound similar to this
He's just as bold as brass! Delightful!
willie wagtails are found althrough australia 😊
Everywhere but Tasmania :)
Unfortunately true....but we do have the Pink Robin here in Tas...both are my favourite birds 😊
I love aussie animals there so awesome dangerous and cute
This is cute and amazing. :)
ahh, that's cute!
What a beautiful and fearless little bird! I love his song. Any idea why they wag their tails?
They mostly do it to stir up bugs from the ground but it's also a counterbalance for their little plump bodies 😊... hello person from a decade ago 😂
Their song is so cute :3
Not cute when they have a nest on my clothesline! The babies have hatched and are in the hot sun.
Clickety Click
I feed one too. You obviously have no cats.
Woke up this morning to the nest of baby willie wagtails gone...the entire nest. The parents are still around so am hoping the babies have been re-located 😊 they are such beautiful creatures and are very protective of their young 😊
Wikipedia says they leave the nest very soon, just weeks after hatching
So cute! I wish we had them here in the Top End :(
+n3xia23 they are there :)
Willy wagtails live in all states except Tasmania!
