A lot of time goes into seeing these birds. In the videos it may look like they are everywhere but in reality there is a LOT of down between sightings usually. Make sure the area you go is know for lots of bird activity, ebird is a useful website to help you work out where they are

While Australian wildlife seems generally pretty crazy, over here it's the people. I wish you safe and pleasant travels. It'll be interesting to hear/see your take on our wildlife. You're seeing the better half of the US from that standpoint. I suspect we have pretty dull wildlife due to our, basically, bulldozing of the country throughout the past. We shall see, and get some good close-ups of it too. 🤞Best of luck!

I must agree that they are a stunning bird. When we drove down to Alice Springs on the same trip we got shocked as a stretch of road had about 300+ Diamond Doves feeding along it.

My wife and I are flying into Sydney in a few days for our first trip to Australia! We have thoroughly enjoyed learning to identify Australia's birds from your videos. Most other KZbinrs put the name of the bird up immediately, but with your videos we can hit pause, figure out what the bird is, then hit play to see if we were right. It is way more fun and way more effective way to learn the birds than just studying the field guide. Your videography and photographs are always excellent. Thanks for posting these videos. We really appreciate it!!

Hello Joe from Sydney. My wife & I have visited the NT in 2022 & this year. Apart from sports & family, I am a keen wildlife photographer, particularly birds. Fogg Dam & Corroberee Billabong were my favourite places to shoot. Make sure you take the Waterlillies walk at Fogg Dam. In 2022, I was lucky to capture a Water Python devouring its prey on that walk. The snakes usually hunt nocturnally. I hope you enjoy your visit to Australia, as we have done visiting yours (6 times, 39/50 States). Cheers, John.

What is the behaviour of a Cuckoo-shrike ? Does it behave like a Cuckol, laying its egg in another bird’s nest 🪺? Or does it kill its prey by stabbing it on tree thorns and man-made spikes , like barbed wires ?
