Australian Magpies are phenomenal wildlife. Only once were they a little overzealous towards me when they wanted some of my pancake I was consuming during a long walk. Gotten to know many of the magpies across Victoria on my travels. They go absolutely bonkers when I give them organic walnuts and wild bird seeds. They have a long memory and their radar is long and wide. Magpies also have this knack flying in from your blind spots. Before you even realise, they're right next to you. They always sing me beautiful carols and make these amazing grunting noises. Some also hop on my lap and warble at me. They're very bold smart and inquisitive. Very cheeky also. Parents also introduce their fledglings to me and even leave them with me to babysit while they forage for food. The Australian Magpie is a spiritual bird. We can learn a lot from them. During nesting season they even show me the sticks they've gathered to build their nests. Love them a lot. The sulphur crested Cockatoo, budgie and crimson rosella are my other favourites.
Can anyone assist me with the following: photos of baby miners and baby mynas? A baby bird unable to fly has taken up residence in anything very warm including my pockets and bed; appears terrified to fly; eats with the beak open wide indicating Mum fed him from her mouth not the other way around (i.e. he did not eat from Mum's mouth). It's gratefully accepted egg yolk from me, although that's not unusual in a baby bird that becomes vegetarian as a adult, water, and just accepted a teaspoon of honey. It chirps loudly for food with beak open, indicating it may be male, but has refused to nominate its preferred pronoun to me (joke!). It's been windy here lately and either he failed first flying lesson or was blown from the nest. P.S. Little thing spends all day asleep in warmth unless disturbed, surfacing loudly only when hungry.
Awesome music .but ur a prick .. yeah remember when u came to nowra and sued my parents shop cause they were playing your music as background noise . Y3ah I'll never forget .
I live in Queensland, and in our backyard there’s this group of 3 black birds with brilliant white eyes that come by almost every day. One is huge, the other one is slightly smaller and the 3rd is smaller still. I’m assuming it’s a family. Anyway, Is it possible they’re ravens? Or is it the crow because it’s Queensland? It’s just these are really big. I didn’t think crows were this big. Is there anywhere I can send a photo to, to determine what the breed is.
As someone who lives near Toondah Harbour and walked in both protest marches and sent numerous emails to politicians couldn't agree more. I'm still concerned Walker Group will find a loophole.
Great another example of injecting religion nobody asked for. If god can do anything, he could've stopped the process from happening himself. Your god does everything remember. Was he just watching the protests and doing nothing to help?
@@joeladation5921 Bro, it's just a saying, I'm not religious at all lmao. I was just admiring the work these guys do. Didn't mean to hit a nerve lmao 🤣 I actually agree with you on the God stuff though 👍
and our federal government, led by the dishonourable Albanese, has refused to take onboard any of the recommended changes in the review report. Shameful. The only thing we can do is to vote out the 2 major parties and NEVER vote them EVER in again. Replace them with parties that are for the people, and who will also look after our wonderful flora and fauna. I know this sounds harsh, but if our elected officials won't do the right thing, and we can't sack them, then we should not allow them into power again and replace them with parties and MPs who will do so. Communicating this to the average Australian is something that really needs to be pushed. We cannot trust the 2 major parties - they only care about big business.
Good video thank you , we never used to see the Noisy Miner , but now they have driven away the poor ol sparrows and robins and bulbuls, in eastern sydney they make a racket tho and are aggresive . to other birds .. and eat meat too ..such an attitude ...! but they do alert me to garbage guts "bin chicken" white Ibis ..oh well
carnaby's love the hakea shrubs in my garden .They will break up even the hard seed pods for a feed .As the pine trees are being removed .Old ion barks The birds are only in groups of 3 .The flocks are sadly missed..If your lucky enough to have then in you garden just bring you dog or cat inside .They will bounce about and feed whilst one bird keeps watch .They love a good solid bird bath
Wow. Grew up thinking they were crows eating roadkill down south. And seeing ravens in America, with their lumped, kinda hooked beaks, it just reinforced my incorrect belief. Thanks!
My Spirit Gude is the Myner , He actually talks to me. We can have a full conservation and everywhere I go he follows. He is such a bestie. I'm so thankful I have "indie" as a spiritual guide. BTW my "Indie" cackles
I'm outside editing some Red-Capped Parrot footage I've been filming at home & the famous summer 'crow' call squawked out through the speakers of the laptop. Wanting to describe their call, I came here for the education...again 🤦♂️ In my experience of living in Perth, they were always called crows(wrongly it seems lol). Though at 59, I'll probably still call them crows. ..because of habit 🙃 Great video👍👍✌️
spoiler alert - and given the 2023 aussie bird count is not up on the channel yet - Australia, do we have a problem with the Rainbow Lorikeet - esp. with WA's feral population?
Celebrity It's a Tassie budgie Maybe ask Kylie Minogue to support the campaign Hey what about Taylor *Swift* ? or even Jonathan..Swi .......Oh Nah can't ask him..he's already extinct .. Well just stop cutting down all that old growth *forrest* ya silly bloody lumberjax Ooooh Now I'm thinkin Twiggy Forrest ?
We're based on a property with lots of birds! Our ravens, identified by their calls, are mostly blue-eyed, but over in Bendigo, I've seen what I thought was a ravens, but it had yellow eyes. Can you define this please!?😮
Thank u this has been very informative. I resided in my recent place of residence for 20yrs. I was surprised to look up & see 2 magpies casually walking into the hallway & then turn left into the lounge room, where i was sitting😊😊. I slowly got out of my chair (talking to them while I was doing this). I slowly went in2 my kitchen a pulled out some mince (all I had). If i was on the phone & sitting on the floor, they would just walk in2 my bedroom, i am at a loss to know why that is. Interestingly, up until Jan 2023 we had a dog for almost 14 yrs, so just months later here they were just wandering in2 my home. I did feed them in the front yard with my dog safely locked behind screen door. I am just amazed how trusting these magpies were, even bringing their young off spring inside. I dont recall having had a prior relationship with these magpies, so I am quite amazed how trusting they were of me. If I was up, but had forgotten to open the front door, they would perch up on the outside bench chair & begin 'warbling' while looking into the room from the windows. Is this common given I don't rec Any ideas?? I think magpies are absolutely precious. I have lived around large numbers of magpies my entire life. I have NEVER once been SWOOPED. 😊
Nice knowledge! I found many recent videos for Australian crest pigeons on the channel "life of australian birds) (touraustralia@9173) that gave more insight into crest pigeon. You can subscribe that channel to watch really capture of their life.
What’s strange is that I can recall the last one when I was in Coober Pedy I’m pretty sure. But I hear the Australian raven sound even though you said we have the little raven in Adelaide
I just raised a magpie who was found on a road in a puddle in an industrial estate. She was the most loving, funny and interactive girl. I just love her so much. She was free to leave on our acreage property and flew off with her friends. The boys only swoop for a few weeks to protect their young. Our story is just like Penguin Bloom. My husband was just home from ICU hospital after a car accident. She made our house so happy for 3 months. Now i miss her so very much. she came back a few times...then off she went.
Thank you! I have finally got a definitive answer to who I witnessed picking and eating my mandarines. Happy to share with my little raven family. Such interesting birds.
