Thank you for your informative presentation. I’m trying to identify a night call I haven’t heard before and it’s a baby Powerful Owl! Amazing!

So the Myna is not a NATIVE bird?

Thank you very much everyone👍🐦

Such an important group. As a fairly new birder, I appreciate everything you do.

Love watching wattlebirds and rainbow lorikeets competing for the grevilleas in our garden.

Fuck I was destroying the nest of a native birds.thinking it was a pest 😢

wait... so they are both thuds with winds... yay...

My cat keeps killing the Indian myna and bringing them to me as gifts 🎁

Ahh thanks, I was totally curious. I want to know the names of every bird that I'd find in my neighbourhood.

I bet when EDP saw the title of this video, he got really excited😂

How long do they hang around for? I have 1 that is driving me crazy!! They are so loud

Don't worry where in this all together😊

How wonderful to find you. Thank you for all the info re effects of specific poisons.. I've just posted my annual bird count and realised how many bird calls I've forgotten in the years that bellbird moved in and frightened away our smaller bird species.. Very late last night I heard a bird call which sounded to me more like a sea bird, although it could have been any local bird.. There was just something about the timbre of its voice that brought to mind a sea bird call.. The call was a mid range ooh ooh, then then higher pitched ooh ooh, then back to the two mid-tone ooh oohs... I've just downloaded David Stewarts bird call app as I can no longer play my old tape so I'll do my best to find last night's visitor.. I need to re-educate my ears.. Thank you for all that you do, Beth :)

We have a wattle bird today bc my family rescuded it

People in Adelaide are always shocked when you say we don't have any native crows here, despite our Adelaide Crows football team, Ravens would have sounded even cooler tbh.

Love doing this - SEQ 😊😊

haha...thank you. love it. I'd say, not an American accent but somewhat NY city Jewish accent. :). Jewish Ashkenasic :).

Why not get the information off EBird?

Can't wait to get started

Preditors are fast in the animal kingdom. It might be an inate behaviour for survival that the magpie sees cyclists, moving fast, as a preditor

Older people and young children are more likely to yell scream cry and wave their arms. This possible will help the magpie remember that this person is big scary and loud; a possible threat

Thank you

Out at Warrumbungles here. We have blackbirds and I have to admit, I really enjoy listening to them during the day. They’re very pleasant to have around. Breaks me thats they’re introduced.

Wow… I recognised the call of the Victorian raven straight away! Thanks Birdman!

I had sighted a Yellow Bittern in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR not too long ago along the semi-marsh/hedged mangrove area near a beach in the semi-rural area of the New Territories of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR.

Brilliant, thank you for highlighting the challenges of this species.

As a fellow film maker, I loved watching this doco about a special bird.

We need to do more about foxes and feral cats. Major problem for native wildlife.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful film. It’s heartwarming to see all these fantastic people caring for the bittern population. ❤

Fantastic to see the positives that have been achieved!

Wow great movie. Thanks for bringing the bittern into focus. Love all your passion ❤

Same family

I would like to know why a kookaburra which I know is an introduced species in WA is bad here but OK in the eastern states please? Don't they eat the same foods everywhere? Someone on the WA Birds site said they aren't liked because we have birds here unique to WA but surely that same situation occurs in the east too.. thankyou Im a new subscriber. Please help me.. I like the kookaburra and I say its not their fault they were introduced back in the 1890's..isnt it about time that law was changed??

rats are awesome, incredibly loveable and intelligent. they're making no mistake calling them that

Thank you for making me aware.. Is their also a bird safe snail repellent?

Great video

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.

So where did "Adelaide Crows" come from?

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.

Excellent talk and efforts to save this colourful little beauty. Thankyou.

Great work. Australia’s animal welfare laws are badly broken. They need so much work to protect all animals.

This is great news. Big applause for everyone who protested against the development and destruction of our precious ecosystem.

Fantastic!

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.

👍👍👍🙏

Doing God's work, thank you for spreading the word of this 🐦

What?! WHAT?!!! Ohhhh... 😂

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.
