There are no shy Cockies. They are absolutely crazy batshit mad and very entertaining. If you start feeding them they'll bang on your windows and doors if you're slow with the food.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDv5Gyv4ek4&t=780">13:00</a> It's "The Kookaburra SITS in the old GUM tree". It's an Australian nursery rhyme that spread from a girl guide competition and went viral across Australia in the 1930's. Most kids will learn it growing up, even if they never see kookaburras.

If you come to Australia, birds are the first thing people notice- they are everywhere, very loud and very cool

Willie Wagtails are fearless. I've seen one chasing a hawk in the sky one day, and if they nest very protective.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree (not oak tree!!)

I took that photo... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDv5Gyv4ek4&t=1003">16:43</a> These little miners were fledglings and their first day out of the nest. Glad to see Darcy's made good use of this pic.

Noisy miners do swoop you in breeding season. But compared to magpies they’re nuthin

Cockies are highly intelligent, malevolent little white and yellow imps. My parents made the mistake of throwing some grain bread on the front lawn for them one afternoon, now nearly every day about 4pm, two cockies rattle the screen door looking for bread.!

In the central west of Queensland, galahs are attracted to the fermenting Burdekin plums that proliferate beneath the very common trees in the region. The result is a plethora of drunken birds exhibiting very questionable behaviour on the nearby power lines. They are very happy drunks.

My primary school had so many issues with cockatoos. We used to have bins without lids and the cockatoos started emptying them for fun even affer finding food. So we got wheelie bins with lids. They opened those amd emptyed them. So we put them next to poles which had metal sticking out, preventing the bins from opening more than a crack. They still managed to stick their heads in and empty them. One day we got to school only to see a tipped over bin and cockatoos going nuts over it. When I graduated primary school, the bins were chained to the poles.
