Bin Chicken is a Sacred Ibis. Multi coloured parrots are Rainbow Lorikeets Big white bird eating the biscuit is a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. The little guy in the bush at night was a Ring Tail Possum. The Possum asleep inside was a Brush Tail Possum which are twice as big.
ok first of all, The ibis is a picnic wrecking, burden on humanity. A dumpster diving, bin-chicken, disrupting the community, Annoying the general public, at every opportunity. Disgrace to feathered creatures, bringing shame on the bird family! if you know the song this is from good on ya mate
9:50 Cassowary and that was a BIG Apple. Fun Fact: Cassowaries and Flying Foxes are two of the most important animals for rainforest survival. They both spread seeds far and wide to help maintain biodiversity and longevity.
Cassowaries are just slightly evolved raptors you cannot change my mind Id rather bring a knife to a gun fight than be remotely close to one of those dinosaurs
When I lived in Queensland, we had many, many Rainbow Lorikeets. The usually hang around in large groups. They used to visit a particular type of palm tree we had in our yard. The Lorikeets would wait until the berries on the palm were very, very ripe, then fill their guts and get drunk as skunks on the over-ripe fruit. Hilarious antics ensued. :)
Every nerve in my body screaming at the women who lost her apple to the cassowary...lady let it go that bird will kill you! The staring comp was with a possum. The reptile going up a tree is a lace monitor, closely related to komodo dragons
Roo meat is high in protein and low in fat. It truly is one of the healthiest red meats available. It tastes good too. The cassowary ,the bird eating the apple, is rated as the world's most dangerous bird.
I only tried kangaroo meat once. It tasted fine, but I couldn’t get the thought of Skippy The Bush Kangaroo out of my head lol, so haven’t had any since
@@Macka. Roo Pies, that sounds interesting. I’m not a vegetarian at all, it’s just the the thought of Skippy lol. I don’t think of cows, sheep or chicken when I eat it. Guess I’ve gotta get Skippy the Bush Kangaroo out of my head lol. Roo sounds very healthy and they definitely aren’t becoming extinct at all, that’s for sure. Roo Pies? Sounds like a AFL footy match 😂
@@bernadettelanders7306 LMAO ... Skippy (the original) was put down from memory because she turned Nasty? Fredo Pies also do Croc Pies and Venison ones ... fun fact 1999 "Fredo Pies" were rated 3rd best Pie in the country ... then they sold it ...last time i ate there a few years ago it had gone to Shyte but you can still get those Pies
I live on an estate that is surrounded by a golf course. (It’s a rural area). There are mobs of kangaroos everywhere! I see minimum 2/3 a day. Some days I’ll look out my kitchen window and see at least 50! Also get heaps of wombats and echidnas!
I live opposite a national park, well on a farm surrounded by a national park, like legit walk down my 200metre driveway and you're in the national park. Between myself and them being there for so long they're easily approachable, was lucky enough to have a pet Joey, his name was Lucky and slept in a pillowcase hanging off the ground to kind of imitate a kangaroo pouch.
I live right next to a wildlife park so every time I go to school the bus always drives by it and I see at least 20 kangaroos! I even saw a little joey in their mum's pouch once!
The main difference in supermarkets between america and australia (and any shop) is that the price displayed on the shelf is the price you pay at the register. Our shelf price is inclusive of GST
Yeah, that's something I've never understood why Americans are so resistant to having the ticket price being the register price. If there are exemptions for certain taxes, then remove that at the register, don't add stuff on.
@@teloenand to my knowledge, as an Aussie, most Americans wish their prices had GST included, but almost every state calculates GST differently so they can’t include it. Still though, don’t see why they can’t standardise it at federal level, seems that’d solve the problem
@@teloenand its because they dont have standardise pricing/gst. The price of the same item can be differnt between each locality and the amount of gst can be different as well. So if something says $2 on the self in 1 store and 2.20 at the register it can be 180 on the shelf and 2.00 at the register at the same company store and only 25 miles away. Basically each locality makes up its own pricing/gst
Fun fact. There would be no rainforest without the cassowary. They are the only bird capable of eating the large fruits of rainforest trees, and passing the mixture of seeds. The seeds that sprout from the birds' droppings become new rain forest plants.
The Huntsman spiders are OK they are harmless make no webs and keep insects at bay. The possum in the tree branches is a relatively common 'Ring Tail Possum' as they use the tail as a further support/hanger climbing around branches.
Those spiders are called huntsmen but can actually pick em up and escort them outside , as long as you don’t stress em out there cool as , but I usually let chill in my place cause they eat all the bloody flies and mozzies 🇦🇺🤙
that big blue bird was a Casawary, That white bird sulphur crested cockatoo, the Itchy animal was a wombat, those coloured birds were rainbow lorikeets, that big lizard was a Goanna
I love watching Americans love Australia. Makes me appreciate my home that little bit more. P.S koalas are soft and their fur is very dense, but they reek of eucalyptus.
That snake in the couch is a harmless little fella, no venom and just wanted somewhere quiet for a nap. I have a couple like that but a bit bigger as pets. Nobody really has kangaroos as pets, you need a wildlife license to own one.
Plenty of rural property owners in NSW raise orphaned Joey's as their pets no special licence required just a animal keepers licence that you apply for online , But most of the farmers i know have no licence for them at all .✌️
@@unsub0007 correct, Victorian Wildlife Advanced Licence may keep, breed, buy and sell any wildlife listed in Schedules 2, 3 and 7 for non-commercial purposes. Schedule 3 includes 4 species of kangaroo. Though in reality, how many would actually keep one as pet?
4:24 Those birds are everywhere in Queensland and they're the most tame wilds birds you'll see. Hold out some bread and they will almost always eat it from your hand or land on you to eat it. I've had around 30 of them on me at once before, literally fighting to land on me like 3 to each shoulder. Sitting cross legged I had like 15 on my lap, it was crazy.
At our local Bunnings this past weekend and there was a kid (10-12 yrs old) literally walking through the store with a two-metre python draped around his shoulders. No one even batted an eye….
The colourful birds with the cheeky one reaching forward to eat from the persons hand are Rainbow Lorikeets. They are very cheeky bastards. I have 100 or so wild ones come to my front door all day to be hand fed. This winter they rushed me when I opened the front door and they came inside. Ever tried rounding up chickens? I got half out, turned around to find the other half waiting calmly to be fed, had the ones I had removed come back inside, removed them again and shut the door so they couldn’t come back in, but now I had the other half still inside, now shut inside. Had to feed them before getting them out. Now they expect to come inside to be fed now. Luckily it's only a score of them and not all 100 or so.
The beach babe with the 2 small roos looks like it was taken at Twilight Beach, Esperance - on the south coast of Western Australia. It's a stunning area for sure.
The big lizards is either a type of Monitor lizard or a Bungarra. The little spikey one in previous video was a Thorny Devil, the medium size one in this was likely a Blue Tongue or Shingleback, or Bobtails as we like to call them. Fun fact about the Rainbow Lorikeet's, they are monogamous, I used to live in a place where every morning they'd all come in their pairs, that will mate for life, sometimes maybe 50 pairs, hang out and socialize before moving on, about an hour later all the bachelors and bachelorettes would come to our fig tree and make a big scene, fighting over who gets the girls.
Next door neighbour from hell trapped one of a pair of rainbow lorikeets, and the free mate sat in her tree in her yard for six months, 3 hours every morning, 3 hours every afternoon, trying to call his/her mate out of the cage she had the other one in. Sent that poor bird quite mad, by the way. She sold the mate, and the untrapped one eventually got a new partner, but it was quite crazy for nearly 2 years. Only settled down recently into its new relationship. Totally broke my heart, what that neighbour did. Neighbour moved two doors away, and wouldn't be at all surprised if she isn't still trapping them wholesale, because...Christmas coming up you know, and the birds get good prices. It's also COMPLETELY AGAINST Federal and state law to trap Aussie wildlife without a licence, or keep them without a licence or approval. 2 year jail term and/or $220k fine, but that's usually reserved for serious poachers who export dying birds in boxes overseas. May they all rot in hell.
We used to get green tree frogs in the toilet, they would hide under the rim, nothing like feeling something slimy touching your behind to give you a fright😂 The Rainbow Lorikeets are extremely noisy in the afternoon, you can barely have a conversation if they're around but are really friendly and playful. Although people love to feed them, anyone who does please be aware not to give them seeds as they have small bristles on their tongues to eat pollen in the wild, seeds wear away the bristles and is really bad for them.
Rainbow lorikeets chew bark away, to get at sap in spring. Pretty sure seeds won't bother them overmuch, in terms of the pollen bristles on their tongues. I put seed for wild birds out, and all sorts come in and eat it, including rainbow lorikeets. They have been for five years, and STILL come in with pollen on their faces when trees are in flower; they've been thriving. Secondly, the reason seeds aren't recommended for rainbow lorikeets is because people (when they have them as pets confined to tiny cages), ONLY feed them seeds, which is not what their wild diet consists of. They will also eat caterpillars or those grubs that hide under bark. The reason they're so successful world wide, is BECAUSE their diet isn't restricted to just pollen. If it was, they'd have died out in Australia because most of their forests have been decimated to make way for carparks and malls, and we don't have an abundance of flowering trees and bushes all year round. Only in certain seasons. There are also other birds, like the friar bird, which has that nectar sipping style beak, who eats spiders, clean out of their webs to feed their babies. So the birds who survive, and thrive, aren't restricted to one food source only, is my point. I've also seen a documentary on back yard feeding where some guy put out fresh mince daily for kookaburras and magpies etc. and the rainbow lorikeets mobbed it. Without any noticeable ill effect. It's the same for corellas, white sulphur crested cockatoos and galahs. They eat, and obviously thrive, on a big variety of foods. P.S. Rainbow lorikeets are classified as parrots.
@@Kayenne54 thank you for the correction and information. I lived in Tin Can Bay for about 10yrs and found quite a few sick or injured Lorikeets. The local wildlife carer had told me that information on the seeds, but what you said makes sense and is much more informed😊
That was a Cassowary swallowing the orange. That lady is pretty game being that close to it. If they feel threatened they can attack and you don't want that as they can inflict major injury.
@@teloenand they live in FNQ, mainly in the Daintree but other places too. There's a caravan park nxt to the beach around Cairns where they've become so used to being fed they'll hassle & chase u when they see a possible feed. It's only a matter of time until another serious injury or death. The ones in the wild r pretty shy tho
Kangaroo meat has become somewhat more popular, but is sold in relatively low volumes. It is excellent, very lean meat. In former times, as now it is mostly sold as pet food. In some respects it is probably like finding venison at the butcher shop, a bit exception compared to common pork, beef, lamb/sheep, goat, duck, chicken and so on.
All the snakes were pythons . 1st one looks like a scrub python. the 2nd in the water was an olive and the last on the drive way was Diamond python. all grow over 6 ft and over. We are so lucky to have this type if Fauna
ha cool, they do farm them here somtimes 4 meat. i've got a few around my place an they realy are just big chickens, if they see u feed'n the roo's bits of bread, they have gr8 eyesight, they come charge'n in from a fair distance an spoil it. then they wont go away an lay mines all over the place.
I have been feeding a flock of Rainbow Lorikeets every day for the past 20 years. Right now they are at my back door asking for a bit more and one just flew in and landed on my arm as I am trying to type. Such lovely, friendly birds. :) Oh, now of course my backyard Magpie and Currawong are walking in the door to get some beef mince from me.
I also hand feed a bunch of wild Rainbow Lorikeets that come to the front door. This winter they rushed inside to eat when I opened the front door and wouldn’t leave until they were fed. It was circus trying to round them up and get them out, like trying to round up chickens on a farm. Every time I got some out and turned around to get the rest out the others came back in, and I had to do it all over again, and shut the door to stop them coming in again, but of course that left the others still inside waiting to be fed and of course now locked in. I had to feed them inside before getting them out and now they except to be fed inside now. However now when I wish to hand feed them I can now sit in the lounge chair and watch TV and hold a bowl of honey in my lap and some of the lorikeets will leave the food bowls to perch on me and feed, and I can watch TV in comfort. But what a mess they make.
Huntsmen spiders and "daddy long legs" spiders will sort out redbacks, but at least insofar as the daddy long legs is concerned, only the baby red backs. Also, FYI, the daddy long legs spider is one of THE most poisonous spiders on the planet. Only reason it doesn't kill that many people is that it's fangs are too small.
Hi Ian, no, you are not allowed to keep native animals as pets. Some people are registered carers for injured wildlife. Bird on guy's lap = sulphur crested cockatoo. Pretty common. The colourful ones are rainbow lorikeets. The spiders are huntsmen (huntsmans?) - very common and often larger than these ones. The thing underneath the walkway was a wombat (you know, the one you keep forgetting). Very cute. Pretty sure I have been to the place where this was filmed: in the Cradle Mountain area, Tasmania. Lizard on the road = goanna, lizard under the rock = blue tongue, lizard on the tree trunk = lace monitor. Mammal in the tree = possum. They often live in people's roofs and can cause damage to vegetation and make a lot of noise, but they are protected in Australia.
All good info, but to be clear you absolutely can keep native animals as pets (especially as you generally can't import exotic pets), just for most native animals you need a permit which is super cheap and easy to obtain, and plenty of native animals that don't require permits in most states but the key point to note being each state has it's own laws and regulations.
Assualt is 100% correct, with the appropriate wildlife licence, you can keep most native species. Some don't need a licence at all (depending on your state)
My Dad rescued a Red Kangaroo when he was a kid (back in the mid 1950's and in a place called Dora Creek) and it stayed on its own accord afterwards. Apparently it would walk him to and from school or the teachers would send dad home because the Roo got into school grounds and was harassing staff. Eventually it started to attack the neighbours dogs and so Dad took it out to an area where there were a lot of Grey Kangaroos. So if anyone has been to Morisset NSW and noticed that the Grey Kangaroos are way larger then they should be, blame my dad.
That's actually a pretty good explanation lol. I'm from Maitland, but used too go too the Morisset Mega Markets alot, and the kangaroos did seem pretty beefy
@@johnsmith-fz5pz I know you can get a license to have roos, but they are not pets. Pull the other one. My bet is you are rehabilitating them from road kill. That is not pet status.
Yeah, we don't generally keep Roos as pets over here, the only state you can legally keep one as a pet as far as I know is victoria, in all other states and territories, they are protected and can't be kept as pets.
Im in SA and Ive had several pet kangaroos over the years. You need a wild life permit but they are very cheap. I think it was something like $60 a year and that also allows other natives to be kept too. My last native animals I had was wallabies which I was trying to breed in an Adelaide backyard but I didnt like them as much as the kangaroos Ive had as unlike the roos they are far more timid pets and didnt make as good pets as I lost one due to a big crow ate the baby.. my other wallabies ended up with lumpy jaw and dying. So I do not recommend wallabies but if you live out on a farm, a kangaroo makes a great pet and they are very much like dogs in personalities to keep
In Australian supermarkets (or Atleast where I’m from and where I’ve been) they don’t sell alcohol at all you actually have to go to a bottle shop, which most the time will be right next to the supermarket
So that animal that’s was having the stair down with the camera was an Australian possum and I had never seen or heard one as a kid until moved to Brisbane earlier this year and heard an incredibly weird scream or scratch from the trees and looked up to see one of them up their just chilling out in the tree
7:00 "dude never seen them that big here", I was literally just thinking to myself, "those huntsmens are small". No joke, they normally get twice that size.
Hi from Cairns Far North Queensland Australia, love the work you do. Bit of coof crazy happening here atm but luckily it's mainly in the capital cities and I'm a couple of thousand kilometres from the nearest one. I didn't know honest reactions to Aussies would be so enjoyable. Bring Grandad back for more tastings and he was the only one that looked cool in a cowboy hat, just saying. Cheers, Vance.
Don't get too blase mate, Cairns has had too many cases for my liking. And now they're opening borders back up all the tourists will b flying in bringing their filthy germs with em
Need a licence to own a Kangaroo, its usually reserved for those that can't be returned to the wild for some reason. My brother had a pet Kangaroo in the 1980s, she was quite tame, even friendly.
To share one of my favourite Aussie memories: At a place called Dandabah (Dan-da-bar), Bunya Mountains, Queensland, you can buy a bag of bird seed from the shop and go across the road between tall bunya pines and put the seed in your hands, on your head, basically anywhere and the lorikeets will land on you, and eat the seed off you. Quite the experience!
Please watch "Gladys Berejiklian Takes Over The World" on TH-cam. Its new in Australia and got released on 31 August. Its a mash up of the NSW State Premier. 7:30 was a Wombat.
@@____0____ Some of the Andrews ones are hilarious,Andrews is a narcissistic Dictator to the nth degree,and will be ousted at the next State election,GUARANTEED.
Bruce is a blue tongue lizard, the one straight after is a goanna, the white bird was a sulfur crested cockatoo, the really bright birds were rainbow lorikeets, yes people do "sort of" have kangaroos as pets ( most of the time they are wildlife rescuers who pick up the joeys of roadkills & raise them to release back into the wild or donate to sanctuaries). The bird that swallowed the apple was a cassowary, & the hrey creature in the tree was a brush tail possum. We have a family of them living in the tool cabinet at work & they are quite tame. Those spiders are huntsman spiders & are generally harmless, but usually quite large
You have had a long running problem with identifying Wombats, Ian. FFS, will you just do a reaction vid on them already so we can all move on! Haha. Nothin but love, man.
The animals at 6:30 and 10:50 are Possums. The second is a Ringtailed Possum due to how its tail curls up into a ring shape regardless of it its wrapped around a branch or not, leading the original explorers to first see them think that their tails liturally ended in a full ring. Or something like that... I am guessing the first is also a Ringtail. But yeah... Anyway, the biggest thing I need you American folks to understand is that Our Aussie Possums are NOT like yours. Yours are Opossums. Different entirely. For starters the Ringtailed is a little more relaxed and not aggressive. They are cute and fluffy and have the most adorable faces. Yours are like... freakes. The worst ours do is live in ceiling space and piss all over everything, which stinks worse than a cats... That big lug a bug at 7:30 is a Wombat. Great big buggers who shit Cubed Shape shit...
Those sulphur crested cockatoos congergate in large flocks and where I used to live in the Dandenongs there was real problem with eating the Western Red Cedar cladding on houses (and I owned one). They could basically destroy a house in an afternoon!
Funny upload Ian thanks for posting mate , All the snakes and spiders seen in this vid are non venomous and that itchy animal was a wombat not sure of the time it featured in the vid . Looking forward to your next one . 👍✌️
The bird swallowing fruit is a cassowary and is basically an EMU in drag with a bad attitude. The Lizards (large) are goanna and the animal you don't know in the bush is a possum...as is the thing on the window architrave earlier.
Kangaroos function quite like deer in the US, including the tendency to leap the wrong way in front of cars at dusk. Roo meat is still quite new in supermarkets.
Rainbow lorikeets (the rainbow but mostly green parrots) love our Caliandra tree out the front. Also love grevilleas. The cockatoos love the citrus trees, those buggers will pick a piece of fruit, eat some, and drop the rest wherever they feel like it. Sometimes it's just in the backyard, sometimes the roof, often the front verandah roof. They like the noise and occasional screams of terror the fruit creates when it hits the corrugated plastic roof.
When i lived in NT and used to frequent the RAAF Base, alot of Bin Chickens lived on the Base. We called them OC's Chooks, OC stands for Office in Command.
The big white birds are Sulphur crested Cockatoo's , can be very cheeky, destructive, noisy & often down right bloody funny. The wild birds often learn a word or two from the pet cockies.
As someone who rescues and works with wildlife in Australia I would like to tell you that kangaroos love car rides, koalas are super soft, especially around the ears, and wombats love nothing more than a good back scratch! (I also used to live near a place famous for huntsman spiders the size of dinner plates, only the bravest went camping there!)
Love your channel bud 😄👍👍As a kid my nan always had kangaroo meat in fridge to feed her cat. It stank ! To this day, whenever I see kangaroo meat in supermarket, it reminds me of my nan and her cat so na can't eat kangaroo. Personal choice, some love it and some can't eat it 😄 Thanks for your uploads Ian cheers kristy from Australia xx
One time I went into the bathroom to comb my hair and saw in the mirror a HUGE spider on the wall behind me. I don't know what type it was as it had a large smooth grey body, anyway I screamed the house down and hubby ran in and took care of it. 😂 Those 3 little ones there on that tiktok, no where near as big as this monster. A little green frog is nothing, they are cute but not fun when they come up the toilet. Now the cassowary is dangerous and they are foolish to get so close, they can disembowel a person in an instant if they so choose. If one wants my orange I would be letting them have it and either jumping in my car or running away. That was a possum, our possums are not like yours.
It's worse when you go into the toilet, close the door, seat yourself, then notice the Huntsman as big as a dinner plate on the back of the door. It gets really messy from there.
Those spiders can grow as large as a regular dinner plate out in the scrub. The bastards will jump on you as well. I have tiny warning signs in spiderese all around my home. The signs read "DO NOT ENTER, DEATH AWAITS YOU". I have had a couple of spiders who decided to ignore the warning signs and discovered the signs to be accurate.
i havnt had a roo , but ive had plenty of mates that have found joeies and kept them until they could be set free on their own . they put bags , or pillow cases on door knobs for them to think its their mums pouch .
Spiders at 7mins are Huntsman, they are freaking huge but are not dangerous and usually keep other insects away. They are worse when you are driving and they come crawling from overhead or in front of you. Nearly had quite a few accidents that way.
The itchy animal was a wombat. The cute fluffy animal was a possum. So sweet. I have one in my yard. The cockatoo was sitting eating an icecream cone. The brightly coloured birds were rainbow lorikeets. They mate for life. I have a pair nesting in my yard right now. They have lived there since 2008 and always have at least one baby. I love them. I know you don’t like spiders but huntsman are so useful and catch all the bad bugs. I have one in my bedroom. Sometimes it freaks me out if it’s on the wall above my bed but I just say to myself “he won’t hurt me” then turn the light off and go to sleep. In the morning he is gone, off chasing flies lol
That big bird that swallowed the orange whole is a Cassowary (found in far north Queensland) whose claws can kill a man easily. Despite signs everywhere saying to steer clear of them, that woman obviously didn't realise the danger she put herself in! As for the spiders...they were all just huntsman...look fierce, but harmless to humans.
13:32 A Sulpher=Crested Cockatoo. If you look for old 'Arnott's' labels, you'll see a sketch of this very thing happening...a cockatoo eating a SAO biscuit.
Believe it not Ian , those huntsman spiders are quite small lol the rainbow lorikeets are cool I feed them from my balcony all the time. Now and then on or 2 stop by and see if there’s any food lol most I’ve had is 17 on my balcony eating 😊
Green frogs ( Green Tree frog) / the itchy one was a Wombat / the big spiders are Huntsman ( harmless) lizard crossing the road was a Goanna / some people have Kangaroos as pet's but it's not super common. White cockatoo with yellow top ( Sulphur Created Cockatoo)
Funny story....when my mum was a young girl, she asked her father if she could have a joey (baby roo) as a pet. He said sure, if you can catch one so she did. She ran one down and had it as a much loved pet for years!!!!
Haha, I love watching reactions to our wildlife. Those spiders you saw were called huntsmen, as they don't do webs and the largest of them (there's different types) is the wolf spider. When I lived near a cane farm, I showered with a huntsman and a frog, who came up through the drain pipe. I never knew that spiders liked to play, until the female (larger), would wait until the steam built up on the wall, run over to a spot, slide down the wall, run back up and slide down again. Then, when that bit of the wall got too dry, she would go to another steamy bit. The white bird with the yellow crest, is called the sulphur crested cockatoo. Those colourful parrots are called lorikeets, thy love to get drunk and clown around. The animal scratching it's back, is a wombat and they're hilarious and very playful, like puppies. The last snake you saw was a carpet python and my resident visitor is even bigger than that one. That was another possum you saw in the tree at night and when I lived in Brisbane, my cat used to play chasies with the resident one. I freaked out when I first saw my cat chase the possum, until they switched and the possum chased my cat, lol! I love this country!
No, having a kangaroo for a pet is practically unheard of. I can see someone getting away with it in the outback though. 3:45 Cockatoo. Beautiful and highly intelligent. Can speak.
The Ibis is a water bird but during the drought, they went in search of water and wound up in the suburbs where there are creeks and ponds etc. prior to the drought, they were rarely seen in built up areas. The spiders are our harmless Huntsman spiders, they eat cockroaches and other pests, so if we see one in the house, they’re safe to let roam because they won’t bite you, they run away, also they’re not venomous.
Those huntsman spiders are pretty common and very placid. You'll get a heap of these during the winter as they come in on the wood you bring in for the fire, but they're harmless.
Rosellas are very beautiful, and very popular with tourists, especially when called down from the trees by people like myself, to snack on biscuits or fruit, while sitting on arms, shoulders and heads. The glad photos of those tourists are a real treat for them. Most very surprised by how ready for close contact the wild flocks can be. Around urban areas they become very cautious, I have them eating wild apples in my backyard each year, but these are scared by cats, dogs and people so that they barely stay around when anyone goes into the yard.
the big white bird with the yellow rat's tail hairdo is a sulphur-crested cockatoo, and the amazing thing about that video is that cockies are generally incredibly dangerous and aggressive in the wild. Their beaks are strong enough to cut your fingertip right off, so never put your hands near their heads.
White Sulfur-crested Cockatoo (there is a rarer black cockatoo as well); the bright ones are Rainbow Lorikeets; possums are serious pests - but a protected species; roos have been clocked at over 40kmph = 25mph
Get Huntsman spiders at work, they come out whilst on night shift. As long as they stay away from me I'll leave them alone and even name them. Last one I met I called it kevin.
The funny part about watching this is that it all seems so ordinary. But I am an Aussie that lives in the country and I see these things almost daily without thinking anything unusual about them. It is hilarious seeing other nationalities react to what is fairly normal to us.
To add to the cuteness of koalas. When they run their fluffy little butts jiggle like they're twirking lol. I didn't know white cockatoos are only native here and Indonesia. They're great birds and pets, very much like macaws, they can learn to repeat phrases and play games. Check out videos of cockatoos dancing to music you'll crack up
my dad was a golfer. he had one pick up his ball shove it in his pouch and bounce away i have footage on my Ig of my niece feeding rainbow birds oh! possums aren't vicious here!!! they're very sweet. That was a possum doing the stare down
8:53 What I found even funnier about that guy calling the car in front 'to get out of the fast land as he is only going 100' is that the driver of the car behind has a Green P sticker in his window, that means he is not allowed to drive over 100km/hr.
The video at 7:42 : I used to work at that wildlife park. That cute little guy’s name is Lane. He is super adorable. Not quite that small anymore though. He’s a big boy now
Those big white cockatoos are all over my yard most days of the week- at least 10 of them sometimes more ! And the blue tongue lizards? We have a whole family of them that hang around our yard
I went camping at a place called Kangaroo Valley,. Went to the loo in the middle of the night a tripped over a bloody Wombat. Needless to say, we both needed the toilet slightly more after that encounter.
Here's a little fun trivia about the rainbow birdies. They spend all day getting drunk and high on poisonous seeds and flowers, you can hear the fighting. They have to eat clay to compensate for the it.
That big bird with a blue neck and a nail like fin on it's head is called a "cassowary". They are the most dangerous birds in the world (and most agressive too). They will lunge for your jugular and try to open your arteries in your jugular with their sharp claws. Do not ever mess with one. They are the closest relatives to dinosaurs in the bird family.
Haha. I just want to sit next to you helping you out with what things are & how to pronounce things. :P Like the wombat & the possum. And the fact that those were all quite average sized huntsman spiders. Haha
Bin Chicken is a Sacred Ibis.
Multi coloured parrots are Rainbow Lorikeets
Big white bird eating the biscuit is a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo.
The little guy in the bush at night was a Ring Tail Possum.
The Possum asleep inside was a Brush Tail Possum which are twice as big.

Bird that eats orange cassawary
They're actually Australian ibis, a separate subspecies, not a sacred ibis.
Tip Turkey not bin chicken
ok first of all,
The ibis is a picnic wrecking, burden on humanity.
A dumpster diving, bin-chicken, disrupting the community,
Annoying the general public, at every opportunity.
Disgrace to feathered creatures, bringing shame on the bird family!
if you know the song this is from good on ya mate
9:50 Cassowary and that was a BIG Apple. Fun Fact: Cassowaries and Flying Foxes are two of the most important animals for rainforest survival. They both spread seeds far and wide to help maintain biodiversity and longevity.
And probably the most dangerous birds to humans that exist!
Cassowaries are just slightly evolved raptors you cannot change my mind
Id rather bring a knife to a gun fight than be remotely close to one of those dinosaurs
@@victoriabitters1691 It's good to be Australian isn't it
They kill a couple of people a year.
When I lived in Queensland, we had many, many Rainbow Lorikeets. The usually hang around in large groups. They used to visit a particular type of palm tree we had in our yard. The Lorikeets would wait until the berries on the palm were very, very ripe, then fill their guts and get drunk as skunks on the over-ripe fruit. Hilarious antics ensued. :)
And a noisy bunch too 'Mirrorgirl'.
@@eddiel8708 Oh yeah they make a racket alright. Up on Burleigh foreshore, you can't hear yourself think around dusk.
Melb Dandy was a huge pine tree 5,000 parrots wud rest on it Noisy as then fly off 7pm to a park
Many complaints 75db they cut the pine down :)
@@eddiel8708 GOURGOUS birds
@@markissboi3583 sad for the birds! People need to b more ! tolerant ! After all we r in their backyards!
Every nerve in my body screaming at the women who lost her apple to the cassowary...lady let it go that bird will kill you! The staring comp was with a possum. The reptile going up a tree is a lace monitor, closely related to komodo dragons
Goanna☝
It did look slightly different to the one on the road
The lizard crossing the road was a Lace Monitor.. the one on the tree was a Goanna
@@rosiec1974 i knew they were different i just got them.mixed up
Yep I was yelling the same thing!
Roo meat is high in protein and low in fat. It truly is one of the healthiest red meats available. It tastes good too. The cassowary ,the bird eating the apple, is rated as the world's most dangerous bird.
Also has the highest iron content of any red meat, yes even more than Elk.
I only tried kangaroo meat once. It tasted fine, but I couldn’t get the thought of Skippy The Bush Kangaroo out of my head lol, so haven’t had any since
Small town in NSW Frederickton used to make the best Roo Pies
@@Macka. Roo Pies, that sounds interesting. I’m not a vegetarian at all, it’s just the the thought of Skippy lol. I don’t think of cows, sheep or chicken when I eat it. Guess I’ve gotta get Skippy the Bush Kangaroo out of my head lol. Roo sounds very healthy and they definitely aren’t becoming extinct at all, that’s for sure. Roo Pies? Sounds like a AFL footy match 😂
@@bernadettelanders7306 LMAO ... Skippy (the original) was put down from memory because she turned Nasty? Fredo Pies also do Croc Pies and Venison ones ... fun fact 1999 "Fredo Pies" were rated 3rd best Pie in the country ... then they sold it ...last time i ate there a few years ago it had gone to Shyte but you can still get those Pies
I live on an estate that is surrounded by a golf course. (It’s a rural area). There are mobs of kangaroos everywhere! I see minimum 2/3 a day. Some days I’ll look out my kitchen window and see at least 50! Also get heaps of wombats and echidnas!
Sounds lovely where u live! All that nature!
I live opposite a national park, well on a farm surrounded by a national park, like legit walk down my 200metre driveway and you're in the national park. Between myself and them being there for so long they're easily approachable, was lucky enough to have a pet Joey, his name was Lucky and slept in a pillowcase hanging off the ground to kind of imitate a kangaroo pouch.
I live right next to a wildlife park so every time I go to school the bus always drives by it and I see at least 20 kangaroos! I even saw a little joey in their mum's pouch once!
Same with us.
Rainbow loriket
The main difference in supermarkets between america and australia (and any shop) is that the price displayed on the shelf is the price you pay at the register. Our shelf price is inclusive of GST
Yeah, that's something I've never understood why Americans are so resistant to having the ticket price being the register price. If there are exemptions for certain taxes, then remove that at the register, don't add stuff on.
@@teloenand to my knowledge, as an Aussie, most Americans wish their prices had GST included, but almost every state calculates GST differently so they can’t include it. Still though, don’t see why they can’t standardise it at federal level, seems that’d solve the problem
@@teloenand its because they dont have standardise pricing/gst. The price of the same item can be differnt between each locality and the amount of gst can be different as well. So if something says $2 on the self in 1 store and 2.20 at the register it can be 180 on the shelf and 2.00 at the register at the same company store and only 25 miles away. Basically each locality makes up its own pricing/gst
Yeh except in Oregon where I lived. No sales tax there yay 😀
The big bird eating the orange whole is a cassowary, one of the most dangerous animals in Aus!!
its basically a raptor :)
humans are the most dangerous animals in australia and the world
I learnt something new, I thought it was a kiwi
@@ligh7foo7 haha a Kiwi wouldn't hurt a flea, but a cassowary would gut you in a heart beat, she was lucky it ignored her.
Fun fact. There would be no rainforest without the cassowary. They are the only bird capable of eating the large fruits of rainforest trees, and passing the mixture of seeds. The seeds that sprout from the birds' droppings become new rain forest plants.
The animal having the stare down in the dark was our version of a possum
The Huntsman spiders are OK they are harmless make no webs and keep insects at bay.
The possum in the tree branches is a relatively common 'Ring Tail Possum' as they use the tail as a further support/hanger climbing around branches.
Those spiders are called huntsmen but can actually pick em up and escort them outside , as long as you don’t stress em out there cool as , but I usually let chill in my place cause they eat all the bloody flies and mozzies 🇦🇺🤙
that big blue bird was a Casawary, That white bird sulphur crested cockatoo, the Itchy animal was a wombat, those coloured birds were rainbow lorikeets, that big lizard was a Goanna
And a ll are capable of causing serious injurylol
Hi Ian, I think you would enjoy the wild flower bloom that happens each September in WA,looks stunning against the red rock!
Yeah, too right mate, there are tons of fascinating and unusual flowers in Oz.
The huntsman spiders are harmless. I put a bowl over them and take them outside.
100%
More likely to try and run than bite ya. Best option is to do what you do, and move them to safety!
You are a brave man! I could never
We always noticed the mosquitoes and flies would reappear once the Huntsman were gone
I love watching Americans love Australia. Makes me appreciate my home that little bit more. P.S koalas are soft and their fur is very dense, but they reek of eucalyptus.
That snake in the couch is a harmless little fella, no venom and just wanted somewhere quiet for a nap. I have a couple like that but a bit bigger as pets. Nobody really has kangaroos as pets, you need a wildlife license to own one.
No pet Kangaroo's :) I have a wildlife license and we rise them until they need to leave.. My little ones hang around but very wild and free.
@@jamessmithsaltyarmy5210 Ah I thought you could have one on an advanced license in Victoria but I'm probably thinking of animal rescue places.
@@unsub0007 I am from QLD
Plenty of rural property owners in NSW raise orphaned Joey's as their pets no special licence required just a animal keepers licence that you apply for online , But most of the farmers i know have no licence for them at all .✌️
@@unsub0007 correct, Victorian Wildlife Advanced Licence may keep, breed, buy and sell any wildlife listed in Schedules 2, 3 and 7 for non-commercial purposes. Schedule 3 includes 4 species of kangaroo. Though in reality, how many would actually keep one as pet?
4:24 Those birds are everywhere in Queensland and they're the most tame wilds birds you'll see. Hold out some bread and they will almost always eat it from your hand or land on you to eat it. I've had around 30 of them on me at once before, literally fighting to land on me like 3 to each shoulder. Sitting cross legged I had like 15 on my lap, it was crazy.
Rainbow lorrikeets like humans
You should get an Aussie on to help explain some of the stuff and have like the American equivalent. I’d like to see what’s normal for you guys.
What you wanna know mate? Maybe I can explain it to you!
At our local Bunnings this past weekend and there was a kid (10-12 yrs old) literally walking through the store with a two-metre python draped around his shoulders. No one even batted an eye….
The colourful birds with the cheeky one reaching forward to eat from the persons hand are Rainbow Lorikeets. They are very cheeky bastards. I have 100 or so wild ones come to my front door all day to be hand fed. This winter they rushed me when I opened the front door and they came inside. Ever tried rounding up chickens? I got half out, turned around to find the other half waiting calmly to be fed, had the ones I had removed come back inside, removed them again and shut the door so they couldn’t come back in, but now I had the other half still inside, now shut inside. Had to feed them before getting them out. Now they expect to come inside to be fed now. Luckily it's only a score of them and not all 100 or so.
I laughed and laughed 😄 - I'm glad it was your situation and not mine - thank you for sharing your interesting experience 😊 chuckle, chuckle.
The beach babe with the 2 small roos looks like it was taken at Twilight Beach, Esperance - on the south coast of Western Australia. It's a stunning area for sure.
I'm from Melbourne went there when I was a kid absolutely the most beautiful beaches on the planet
The big lizards is either a type of Monitor lizard or a Bungarra. The little spikey one in previous video was a Thorny Devil, the medium size one in this was likely a Blue Tongue or Shingleback, or Bobtails as we like to call them. Fun fact about the Rainbow Lorikeet's, they are monogamous, I used to live in a place where every morning they'd all come in their pairs, that will mate for life, sometimes maybe 50 pairs, hang out and socialize before moving on, about an hour later all the bachelors and bachelorettes would come to our fig tree and make a big scene, fighting over who gets the girls.
Bungarra’s are Gould’s Monitors, also known as a Sand Goanna
Thanks these are all new names for me. What town do you live in? it sounds like a nice place to move to?
Next door neighbour from hell trapped one of a pair of rainbow lorikeets, and the free mate sat in her tree in her yard for six months, 3 hours every morning, 3 hours every afternoon, trying to call his/her mate out of the cage she had the other one in. Sent that poor bird quite mad, by the way. She sold the mate, and the untrapped one eventually got a new partner, but it was quite crazy for nearly 2 years. Only settled down recently into its new relationship. Totally broke my heart, what that neighbour did. Neighbour moved two doors away, and wouldn't be at all surprised if she isn't still trapping them wholesale, because...Christmas coming up you know, and the birds get good prices. It's also COMPLETELY AGAINST Federal and state law to trap Aussie wildlife without a licence, or keep them without a licence or approval. 2 year jail term and/or $220k fine, but that's usually reserved for serious poachers who export dying birds in boxes overseas. May they all rot in hell.
@@Kayenne54 Does mad mean they sounded really sad or was the bird acting like a crazy cat lad?
@@ligh7foo7 Perth
We used to get green tree frogs in the toilet, they would hide under the rim, nothing like feeling something slimy touching your behind to give you a fright😂
The Rainbow Lorikeets are extremely noisy in the afternoon, you can barely have a conversation if they're around but are really friendly and playful. Although people love to feed them, anyone who does please be aware not to give them seeds as they have small bristles on their tongues to eat pollen in the wild, seeds wear away the bristles and is really bad for them.
Rainbow lorikeets chew bark away, to get at sap in spring. Pretty sure seeds won't bother them overmuch, in terms of the pollen bristles on their tongues. I put seed for wild birds out, and all sorts come in and eat it, including rainbow lorikeets. They have been for five years, and STILL come in with pollen on their faces when trees are in flower; they've been thriving. Secondly, the reason seeds aren't recommended for rainbow lorikeets is because people (when they have them as pets confined to tiny cages), ONLY feed them seeds, which is not what their wild diet consists of. They will also eat caterpillars or those grubs that hide under bark. The reason they're so successful world wide, is BECAUSE their diet isn't restricted to just pollen. If it was, they'd have died out in Australia because most of their forests have been decimated to make way for carparks and malls, and we don't have an abundance of flowering trees and bushes all year round. Only in certain seasons. There are also other birds, like the friar bird, which has that nectar sipping style beak, who eats spiders, clean out of their webs to feed their babies. So the birds who survive, and thrive, aren't restricted to one food source only, is my point. I've also seen a documentary on back yard feeding where some guy put out fresh mince daily for kookaburras and magpies etc. and the rainbow lorikeets mobbed it. Without any noticeable ill effect. It's the same for corellas, white sulphur crested cockatoos and galahs. They eat, and obviously thrive, on a big variety of foods. P.S. Rainbow lorikeets are classified as parrots.
@@Kayenne54 thank you for the correction and information.
I lived in Tin Can Bay for about 10yrs and found quite a few sick or injured Lorikeets. The local wildlife carer had told me that information on the seeds, but what you said makes sense and is much more informed😊
Bruce is a blue tounged lizard, the following big "lizard" is a Goanna
The Goanna was a Perentie by the looks of it...
@@RAElliott666 They are the same thing aka moniter lizard
That was a Cassowary swallowing the orange. That lady is pretty game being that close to it. If they feel threatened they can attack and you don't want that as they can inflict major injury.
Looked like an apple (Maybe pink lady), but yes a Cassowary none the less
cassowary are absolute psychopathic murder turkeys
@@moofy69 It's why I'm glad I live nowhere near their territory, psycho murder turkeys indeed.
There was a guy in Florida who owned a Cassowary..... I say was cause it ended up attacking and killing him.
@@teloenand they live in FNQ, mainly in the Daintree but other places too. There's a caravan park nxt to the beach around Cairns where they've become so used to being fed they'll hassle & chase u when they see a possible feed. It's only a matter of time until another serious injury or death. The ones in the wild r pretty shy tho
Kangaroo meat has become somewhat more popular, but is sold in relatively low volumes. It is excellent, very lean meat.
In former times, as now it is mostly sold as pet food.
In some respects it is probably like finding venison at the butcher shop, a bit exception compared to common pork, beef, lamb/sheep, goat, duck, chicken and so on.
All the snakes were pythons . 1st one looks like a scrub python. the 2nd in the water was an olive and the last on the drive way was Diamond python. all grow over 6 ft and over. We are so lucky to have this type if Fauna
I recall being in the middle of nowhere (Kansas) and seeing an "Australian Emu" standing in a field.
ha cool, they do farm them here somtimes 4 meat. i've got a few around my place an they realy are just big chickens, if they see u feed'n the roo's bits of bread, they have gr8 eyesight, they come charge'n in from a fair distance an spoil it. then they wont go away an lay mines all over the place.
the 3 spiders are huntsman's....big buggers, but harmless....they eat the flys.
I have been feeding a flock of Rainbow Lorikeets every day for the past 20 years. Right now they are at my back door asking for a bit more and one just flew in and landed on my arm as I am trying to type. Such lovely, friendly birds. :)
Oh, now of course my backyard Magpie and Currawong are walking in the door to get some beef mince from me.
I also hand feed a bunch of wild Rainbow Lorikeets that come to the front door. This winter they rushed inside to eat when I opened the front door and wouldn’t leave until they were fed. It was circus trying to round them up and get them out, like trying to round up chickens on a farm. Every time I got some out and turned around to get the rest out the others came back in, and I had to do it all over again, and shut the door to stop them coming in again, but of course that left the others still inside waiting to be fed and of course now locked in. I had to feed them inside before getting them out and now they except to be fed inside now. However now when I wish to hand feed them I can now sit in the lounge chair and watch TV and hold a bowl of honey in my lap and some of the lorikeets will leave the food bowls to perch on me and feed, and I can watch TV in comfort. But what a mess they make.
Need a few more huntsmen in the house. Just noticed a redback (black widow for Ian) setting up inside next to the front door.
Huntsmen spiders and "daddy long legs" spiders will sort out redbacks, but at least insofar as the daddy long legs is concerned, only the baby red backs. Also, FYI, the daddy long legs spider is one of THE most poisonous spiders on the planet. Only reason it doesn't kill that many people is that it's fangs are too small.
@@Kayenne54 daddy long legs spiders don't produce any poison. Look it up
Lorikeets are beautiful birds, heaps smart and they mate for life
Hi Ian, no, you are not allowed to keep native animals as pets. Some people are registered carers for injured wildlife. Bird on guy's lap = sulphur crested cockatoo. Pretty common. The colourful ones are rainbow lorikeets. The spiders are huntsmen (huntsmans?) - very common and often larger than these ones. The thing underneath the walkway was a wombat (you know, the one you keep forgetting). Very cute. Pretty sure I have been to the place where this was filmed: in the Cradle Mountain area, Tasmania. Lizard on the road = goanna, lizard under the rock = blue tongue, lizard on the tree trunk = lace monitor. Mammal in the tree = possum. They often live in people's roofs and can cause damage to vegetation and make a lot of noise, but they are protected in Australia.
All good info, but to be clear you absolutely can keep native animals as pets (especially as you generally can't import exotic pets), just for most native animals you need a permit which is super cheap and easy to obtain, and plenty of native animals that don't require permits in most states but the key point to note being each state has it's own laws and regulations.
Assualt is 100% correct, with the appropriate wildlife licence, you can keep most native species. Some don't need a licence at all (depending on your state)
At 4:45, the birds are rainbow lorracites, they are very common and cool. they come back for food if you feed them.
My Dad rescued a Red Kangaroo when he was a kid (back in the mid 1950's and in a place called Dora Creek) and it stayed on its own accord afterwards. Apparently it would walk him to and from school or the teachers would send dad home because the Roo got into school grounds and was harassing staff. Eventually it started to attack the neighbours dogs and so Dad took it out to an area where there were a lot of Grey Kangaroos. So if anyone has been to Morisset NSW and noticed that the Grey Kangaroos are way larger then they should be, blame my dad.
That's actually a pretty good explanation lol. I'm from Maitland, but used too go too the Morisset Mega Markets alot, and the kangaroos did seem pretty beefy
I love the fact that your clips make me look at my own country and appreciate its beauty and uniqueness.
Roos are absolutely not pets, that one was likely getting relocated to a wildlife park or sanctuary.
But always super cool regardless
yeah they are mate. I have 2
@@johnsmith-fz5pz I know you can get a license to have roos, but they are not pets. Pull the other one. My bet is you are rehabilitating them from road kill. That is not pet status.
We have pet roos! City livers don't understand
We had pet roo’s - bush very different to city lol
Aussie here! How to tell the difference between a Wallaby and Kangaroo is priceless..loving this channel..
Yeah, we don't generally keep Roos as pets over here, the only state you can legally keep one as a pet as far as I know is victoria, in all other states and territories, they are protected and can't be kept as pets.
Pretty sure it is illegal to keep native animals as pets all over Australia. I live in Victoria and have never seen a native animal as a pet.
U r correct but it can't b wild and u must have a licence
Im in SA and Ive had several pet kangaroos over the years. You need a wild life permit but they are very cheap. I think it was something like $60 a year and that also allows other natives to be kept too. My last native animals I had was wallabies which I was trying to breed in an Adelaide backyard but I didnt like them as much as the kangaroos Ive had as unlike the roos they are far more timid pets and didnt make as good pets as I lost one due to a big crow ate the baby.. my other wallabies ended up with lumpy jaw and dying. So I do not recommend wallabies but if you live out on a farm, a kangaroo makes a great pet and they are very much like dogs in personalities to keep
@@michaelfink64 Really? Never seen a budgerigar, cockatiel, galah, eastern blue tongue or central bearded dragon as a pet?
My thought was he found Roo injured and was taking it to the vet
In Australian supermarkets (or Atleast where I’m from and where I’ve been) they don’t sell alcohol at all you actually have to go to a bottle shop, which most the time will be right next to the supermarket
So that animal that’s was having the stair down with the camera was an Australian possum and I had never seen or heard one as a kid until moved to Brisbane earlier this year and heard an incredibly weird scream or scratch from the trees and looked up to see one of them up their just chilling out in the tree
7:00 "dude never seen them that big here", I was literally just thinking to myself, "those huntsmens are small". No joke, they normally get twice that size.
Hi from Cairns Far North Queensland Australia, love the work you do. Bit of coof crazy happening here atm but luckily it's mainly in the capital cities and I'm a couple of thousand kilometres from the nearest one. I didn't know honest reactions to Aussies would be so enjoyable. Bring Grandad back for more tastings and he was the only one that looked cool in a cowboy hat, just saying. Cheers, Vance.
Don't get too blase mate, Cairns has had too many cases for my liking. And now they're opening borders back up all the tourists will b flying in bringing their filthy germs with em
The lady trying to stop the cassowary was a few steps away from disembowelment.
No kangaroos aren’t pets - usually animal rescuers save them and some can’t be returned to the wild.
Need a licence to own a Kangaroo, its usually reserved for those that can't be returned to the wild for some reason. My brother had a pet Kangaroo in the 1980s, she was quite tame, even friendly.
To share one of my favourite Aussie memories: At a place called Dandabah (Dan-da-bar), Bunya Mountains, Queensland, you can buy a bag of bird seed from the shop and go across the road between tall bunya pines and put the seed in your hands, on your head, basically anywhere and the lorikeets will land on you, and eat the seed off you. Quite the experience!
Please watch "Gladys Berejiklian Takes Over The World" on TH-cam. Its new in Australia and got released on 31 August.

Bruce is a blue tongue lizard, the one straight after is a goanna, the white bird was a sulfur crested cockatoo, the really bright birds were rainbow lorikeets, yes people do "sort of" have kangaroos as pets ( most of the time they are wildlife rescuers who pick up the joeys of roadkills & raise them to release back into the wild or donate to sanctuaries). The bird that swallowed the apple was a cassowary, & the hrey creature in the tree was a brush tail possum. We have a family of them living in the tool cabinet at work & they are quite tame. Those spiders are huntsman spiders & are generally harmless, but usually quite large
You have had a long running problem with identifying Wombats, Ian.
FFS, will you just do a reaction vid on them already so we can all move on!
Haha.
Nothin but love, man.
Those big spiders are huntsmans, lots of fun waking up in the middle of the night to one walking over your face
The animals at 6:30 and 10:50 are Possums.
The second is a Ringtailed Possum due to how its tail curls up into a ring shape regardless of it its wrapped around a branch or not, leading the original explorers to first see them think that their tails liturally ended in a full ring. Or something like that...
I am guessing the first is also a Ringtail. But yeah...
Anyway, the biggest thing I need you American folks to understand is that Our Aussie Possums are NOT like yours. Yours are Opossums. Different entirely. For starters the Ringtailed is a little more relaxed and not aggressive. They are cute and fluffy and have the most adorable faces. Yours are like... freakes. The worst ours do is live in ceiling space and piss all over everything, which stinks worse than a cats...
That big lug a bug at 7:30 is a Wombat. Great big buggers who shit Cubed Shape shit...
Second is actually a brush tail possum
@@indiedetective Is it? I always get them confused. Thought the brushtail was a little more, bushier...
Those sulphur crested cockatoos congergate in large flocks and where I used to live in the Dandenongs there was real problem with eating the Western Red Cedar cladding on houses (and I owned one). They could basically destroy a house in an afternoon!
Funny upload Ian thanks for posting mate , All the snakes and spiders seen in this vid are non venomous and that itchy animal was a wombat not sure of the time it featured in the vid . Looking forward to your next one . 👍✌️
9:50… yep cassowaries can absolutely swallow fruit whole (within reason) They can even swallow a mango seed whole. :)
The bird swallowing fruit is a cassowary and is basically an EMU in drag with a bad attitude.
The Lizards (large) are goanna and the animal you don't know in the bush is a possum...as is the thing on the window architrave earlier.
Kangaroos function quite like deer in the US, including the tendency to leap the wrong way in front of cars at dusk. Roo meat is still quite new in supermarkets.
Rainbow lorikeets (the rainbow but mostly green parrots) love our Caliandra tree out the front. Also love grevilleas. The cockatoos love the citrus trees, those buggers will pick a piece of fruit, eat some, and drop the rest wherever they feel like it. Sometimes it's just in the backyard, sometimes the roof, often the front verandah roof. They like the noise and occasional screams of terror the fruit creates when it hits the corrugated plastic roof.
When i lived in NT and used to frequent the RAAF Base, alot of Bin Chickens lived on the Base. We called them OC's Chooks, OC stands for Office in Command.
The big white birds are Sulphur crested Cockatoo's , can be very cheeky, destructive, noisy & often down right bloody funny. The wild birds often learn a word or two from the pet cockies.
All Aussies watching this "leave the apple and get the *beep* away from that Cassowary!!!!"
As someone who rescues and works with wildlife in Australia I would like to tell you that kangaroos love car rides, koalas are super soft, especially around the ears, and wombats love nothing more than a good back scratch!
(I also used to live near a place famous for huntsman spiders the size of dinner plates, only the bravest went camping there!)
Love your channel bud 😄👍👍As a kid my nan always had kangaroo meat in fridge to feed her cat. It stank ! To this day, whenever I see kangaroo meat in supermarket, it reminds me of my nan and her cat so na can't eat kangaroo. Personal choice, some love it and some can't eat it 😄 Thanks for your uploads Ian cheers kristy from Australia xx
One time I went into the bathroom to comb my hair and saw in the mirror a HUGE spider on the wall behind me. I don't know what type it was as it had a large smooth grey body, anyway I screamed the house down and hubby ran in and took care of it. 😂 Those 3 little ones there on that tiktok, no where near as big as this monster.
A little green frog is nothing, they are cute but not fun when they come up the toilet.
Now the cassowary is dangerous and they are foolish to get so close, they can disembowel a person in an instant if they so choose. If one wants my orange I would be letting them have it and either jumping in my car or running away.
That was a possum, our possums are not like yours.
It's worse when you go into the toilet, close the door, seat yourself, then notice the Huntsman as big as a dinner plate on the back of the door. It gets really messy from there.
@@elizabethscott7660 Lol, we don't seem to get the huntsman much out here, did back in Brisbane.
Those spiders can grow as large as a regular dinner plate out in the scrub. The bastards will jump on you as well.
I have tiny warning signs in spiderese all around my home. The signs read "DO NOT ENTER, DEATH AWAITS YOU". I have had a couple of spiders who decided to ignore the warning signs and discovered the signs to be accurate.
i havnt had a roo , but ive had plenty of mates that have found joeies and kept them until they could be set free on their own . they put bags , or pillow cases on door knobs for them to think its their mums pouch .
Super entertaining. I forgot how funny Australians are. hahaha Thanks mate.
Spiders at 7mins are Huntsman, they are freaking huge but are not dangerous and usually keep other insects away. They are worse when you are driving and they come crawling from overhead or in front of you. Nearly had quite a few accidents that way.
The itchy animal was a wombat. The cute fluffy animal was a possum. So sweet. I have one in my yard. The cockatoo was sitting eating an icecream cone. The brightly coloured birds were rainbow lorikeets. They mate for life. I have a pair nesting in my yard right now. They have lived there since 2008 and always have at least one baby. I love them. I know you don’t like spiders but huntsman are so useful and catch all the bad bugs. I have one in my bedroom. Sometimes it freaks me out if it’s on the wall above my bed but I just say to myself “he won’t hurt me” then turn the light off and go to sleep. In the morning he is gone, off chasing flies lol
That big bird that swallowed the orange whole is a Cassowary (found in far north Queensland) whose claws can kill a man easily. Despite signs everywhere saying to steer clear of them, that woman obviously didn't realise the danger she put herself in! As for the spiders...they were all just huntsman...look fierce, but harmless to humans.
13:32 A Sulpher=Crested Cockatoo. If you look for old 'Arnott's' labels, you'll see a sketch of this very thing happening...a cockatoo eating a SAO biscuit.
Believe it not Ian , those huntsman spiders are quite small lol the rainbow lorikeets are cool I feed them from my balcony all the time. Now and then on or 2 stop by and see if there’s any food lol most I’ve had is 17 on my balcony eating 😊
That danger chicken (Cassowary) swallowed an apple whole.
The bin chicken is an Ibis.
The small kangaroos, are actually most likely Wallaby.
Green frogs ( Green Tree frog) / the itchy one was a Wombat / the big spiders are Huntsman ( harmless) lizard crossing the road was a Goanna / some people have Kangaroos as pet's but it's not super common. White cockatoo with yellow top ( Sulphur Created Cockatoo)
Funny story....when my mum was a young girl, she asked her father if she could have a joey (baby roo) as a pet. He said sure, if you can catch one so she did. She ran one down and had it as a much loved pet for years!!!!
Ran it down on foot I assume?
Haha, I love watching reactions to our wildlife. Those spiders you saw were called huntsmen, as they don't do webs and the largest of them (there's different types) is the wolf spider. When I lived near a cane farm, I showered with a huntsman and a frog, who came up through the drain pipe. I never knew that spiders liked to play, until the female (larger), would wait until the steam built up on the wall, run over to a spot, slide down the wall, run back up and slide down again. Then, when that bit of the wall got too dry, she would go to another steamy bit.
The white bird with the yellow crest, is called the sulphur crested cockatoo. Those colourful parrots are called lorikeets, thy love to get drunk and clown around. The animal scratching it's back, is a wombat and they're hilarious and very playful, like puppies. The last snake you saw was a carpet python and my resident visitor is even bigger than that one. That was another possum you saw in the tree at night and when I lived in Brisbane, my cat used to play chasies with the resident one. I freaked out when I first saw my cat chase the possum, until they switched and the possum chased my cat, lol! I love this country!
Love the slidy spidy story
No, having a kangaroo for a pet is practically unheard of. I can see someone getting away with it in the outback though.
3:45 Cockatoo. Beautiful and highly intelligent. Can speak.
It's usually illegal to have native animals as pets unless you have a license.
The Ibis is a water bird but during the drought, they went in search of water and wound up in the suburbs where there are creeks and ponds etc. prior to the drought, they were rarely seen in built up areas.
The spiders are our harmless Huntsman spiders, they eat cockroaches and other pests, so if we see one in the house, they’re safe to let roam because they won’t bite you, they run away, also they’re not venomous.
Those huntsman spiders are pretty common and very placid. You'll get a heap of these during the winter as they come in on the wood you bring in for the fire, but they're harmless.
Rosellas are very beautiful, and very popular with tourists, especially when called down from the trees by people like myself, to snack on biscuits or fruit, while sitting on arms, shoulders and heads. The glad photos of those tourists are a real treat for them. Most very surprised by how ready for close contact the wild flocks can be. Around urban areas they become very cautious, I have them eating wild apples in my backyard each year, but these are scared by cats, dogs and people so that they barely stay around when anyone goes into the yard.
the big white bird with the yellow rat's tail hairdo is a sulphur-crested cockatoo, and the amazing thing about that video is that cockies are generally incredibly dangerous and aggressive in the wild. Their beaks are strong enough to cut your fingertip right off, so never put your hands near their heads.
White Sulfur-crested Cockatoo (there is a rarer black cockatoo as well); the bright ones are Rainbow Lorikeets; possums are serious pests - but a protected species; roos have been clocked at over 40kmph = 25mph
Look at the little Kangaroos on the beach. What Kangaroos! My eyes did not see Kangaroos.😂
2:44 Thats a Green tree frog they are beautiful and I get them everywhere around my house.
They love to stay near places that have lots of water.
Get Huntsman spiders at work, they come out whilst on night shift. As long as they stay away from me I'll leave them alone and even name them. Last one I met I called it kevin.
The funny part about watching this is that it all seems so ordinary. But I am an Aussie that lives in the country and I see these things almost daily without thinking anything unusual about them. It is hilarious seeing other nationalities react to what is fairly normal to us.
To add to the cuteness of koalas. When they run their fluffy little butts jiggle like they're twirking lol. I didn't know white cockatoos are only native here and Indonesia. They're great birds and pets, very much like macaws, they can learn to repeat phrases and play games. Check out videos of cockatoos dancing to music you'll crack up
4:28 Those are Rainbow Lorikeets their colours are gorgeous aswell as their sounds. You can actually keep them as pets in Australia.
The white bird is a yellow crested cockatoo, they are loud, destructive and obnoxious. Good talkers, but they swear even better 😂
my dad was a golfer. he had one pick up his ball shove it in his pouch and bounce away
i have footage on my Ig of my niece feeding rainbow birds
oh! possums aren't vicious here!!! they're very sweet. That was a possum doing the stare down
8:53 What I found even funnier about that guy calling the car in front 'to get out of the fast land as he is only going 100' is that the driver of the car behind has a Green P sticker in his window, that means he is not allowed to drive over 100km/hr.
AYYYY NEW THUMBNAIL PICTURE?!! 😂😂
The video at 7:42 : I used to work at that wildlife park. That cute little guy’s name is Lane. He is super adorable. Not quite that small anymore though. He’s a big boy now
Those big white cockatoos are all over my yard most days of the week- at least 10 of them sometimes more ! And the blue tongue lizards? We have a whole family of them that hang around our yard
The animal that was itching on the ground was a Wombat, that particular video was shot from Cradle Mountain Tasmania.
My man getting more excited over a rainbow loricate then a cockatoo
The really colourful birds were Rainbow Lorikeets. They're very common over here.
I went camping at a place called Kangaroo Valley,. Went to the loo in the middle of the night a tripped over a bloody Wombat. Needless to say, we both needed the toilet slightly more after that encounter.
Here's a little fun trivia about the rainbow birdies. They spend all day getting drunk and high on poisonous seeds and flowers, you can hear the fighting. They have to eat clay to compensate for the it.
That big bird with a blue neck and a nail like fin on it's head is called a "cassowary". They are the most dangerous birds in the world (and most agressive too). They will lunge for your jugular and try to open your arteries in your jugular with their sharp claws. Do not ever mess with one. They are the closest relatives to dinosaurs in the bird family.
Haha. I just want to sit next to you helping you out with what things are & how to pronounce things. :P Like the wombat & the possum. And the fact that those were all quite average sized huntsman spiders. Haha
