So you're the supplier! No wonder they love you. Does it work on humans too?

Adelaide is the cheapest city to live. Sydney is the dearest along with Melbourne.

Only thing i didn't like about Perth was the lack of trees.

Thanks for the upload always a pleasure watching Ur uploads have an amazing night ❤

Welcome back 💩 Happy Inauguration Day America! 🇺🇸 Here’s a cute video of my cats for you all to enjoy 🥰 DISCORD: discord.gg/MtsPQmZn WISHLIST: throne.com/toniaelkins

We have stores open 24/7 but we pay them a REAL wage . Sadly not so much under the new right wing misGovernment .

Shame they cant pronounce Lake Tekapo ..Tek A Poh .

nah ghost just trying to show himself off to the girl cats

Where my father lives at the east cape, the East cape lighthouse is one the first lighthouses in the world to see the sun.

The stupid theories that come to mind when you believe the lies of evolution.

Well done, Tonia, hope to see you here soon. Far from being suppressed, the Maori language is actually being encouraged. "Te Reo Maori" is now being taught in Junior Schools and the kids come home and try to 'convert' us adults! "Te Reo" actually translates as "The language". (Have a hard time converting me, I'm nearly a local having emigrated from the UK 50years ago!) Many roadsigns are dual language and town names that did not have a Maori name are having one selected by the local community. Your comment in another post was about not celebrating Boxing Day in the UK - well, we do celebrate it here too, at least we get a day off. But of course we have nearly the same public holidays as the UK and also a lot more holidays than the US, mostly about 28 days off. Each State has it's own Anniversary (we're having one today, Wellington Anniversary Day, 20th January) If you go to the "Timeanddate" web page and request a calendar for New Zealand you'll be amazed. Best wishes - I'm hunting for more of your posts - Martin

🖤

You see this in the Kimberly Western Australia all the time

❤😊

My cat was born in 2007 i got her when she was six weeks old she finally past away at the grand old age of 17

Not mentioned, add ‘A DEAD ROOT’ to your list… very poor in pleasing a partner ….a 10 minutes completely wasted!

You know how Trump wants to buy Canada? I suggested on a news feed that Australia buys Illinois and Texas. Already getting likes. Then you won't have fly coz you'll already be here. One problem tho... You'd have to drive on the other side of the road.

Welcome back 💩🖤🤘 Crank it up and let’s ROCK OUT! (I do these purely for fun.. they are demonitized) DISCORD: discord.gg/MtsPQmZn WISHLIST: throne.com/toniaelkins

the Swan River can be used for leisure boats and I seen Dolphin's swimming in there even knowing it more fresh water the salt water. Yet like my own city Adelaide we to have river yet nothing like the Swan river.

woulda been cool to hear some of the sounds.

2025 is going to be the start of a very painful period in the US. The incoming group of uber-wealthy "leaders" are going to screw the bulk of the population like they've never been screwed before. I'm sad for all the Americans & pity the Yanks(yes,there IS a difference). One group don't deserve the coming 4 years but,by christ,the other group do. Buckle up,it's going to be an appalling ride.

Australia has plants that have pods that won’t open without fire

Eucalyptus trees *require* fire in order to germinate

Some birds just want to watch the world burn

In Australia bushfires can be started by natural causes, such as lightning strikes, or *by people (accidentally or on purpose).* Weather conditions and fuel conditions play a part in bushfires happening. When it comes to bushfires in LA it has bee reported as a conspiracy

One of the issues with wildfires is, humans suppress fires, so forests go a longer period without getting burned, leading to more and more accumulated fuel. So when it does catch alight, you get much bigger, hotter faster spreading and more dangerous fires. More smaller fires are much better for nature than fewer bigger fires.

The black kites are very intelligent. They have adapted to human activity well, the scavenge from rubbish tips and hang around towns where they can get a free feed. Aboriginal people have used fire to hunt for millennia. Black kites have learned this skill and joined in the hunt. They are a very common species around the world, but i haven't heard of them setting fires anywhere else. No doubt they have learned other tricks from their surroundings. They are also one of the only birds of prey that congregate in large flocks. I have personally seen more that 1000 roosting together.

what I read recently that the LA Fires is now classified as a conspiracy

You mentioned how we lost millions of animals in our 2019 fire, yes it was heartbreaking. But people from all around the world came to help. A good example is the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital, they made a GoFundMe with a goal of $25,000. 163,000 ppl from around the world donated over $8 MILLION. 🐨 💜 🌍

Bush/Wild fires are only going to become more common as we can't turn back the clock on global warming. Nature has evolved alongside fire for example some trees need fire to regenerate or female kangaroos are permanently pregnant so they can control population growth after a fire or flood. Learn from indigenous experience. Outside of fire season we have controlled burns to reduce the fuel load. Does this happen in the US? Don't populate areas that WILL have a fire... it's not a case of chance or IF a fire will happen it's WHEN. With the lengthening of fire seasons here in Australia and in the US we will no longer be able to share resources which we have always done. My heart goes out to all suffering the California fires.

I live in Adelaide and you can walk in the hills, where there are many walking trails

this time of year, it rains mostly in the north and they only have two season wet and dry where south it can get hot, unless you live in Melbourne where they can all four season in one day.

Thinking of everyone, human and animal, that has been affected by the Californian fires. Loss of structures and belongs with memories are hard to replace. My husband's employer lost nearly their whole farm in 2023 about this time of year, too. Luckily, the homestead and the cattle were saved. The smell and cost to rebuild was no where near covered by insurance. My hubby (now 62) built $150000 to $200000 worth of fences in a year or so. It's pretty tough work. Our Indigenous peoples are the masters of understanding Australian nature and fires.

Everywhere in NZ is beautiful, oh except the Manawatu kapiti area, that's shithouse.

I always thought it was pome, prisoner of mother England.

Hi Tonia hope you are In better health today. 😊

Those black Hawks as we call them kite hawks because there tail move like a kite in the air, they hang around our Dozer waiting for us to disturb mice and other scrub animal, this is in the Pilbara Western Australia

I have seen this often. Living in northern NSW Australia. The sugar cane is set on fire before harvest to burn of dead leaves. The farmers need to be careful these birds might set fire to other fields that aren't ready for harvest. they appear to circle in groups.

Many Australian plants need fire to germinate. Indigenous fire practice involve small scatered, cool burns, before it gets to dry. Breaking up the fuel load into patches

Yes California fires terrible. Aussies can relate.

Aboriginals have known about the Firehawk for thousand of years. Yet scientists and government authorities always challenge their knowledge of the land you’d think after 65,000 years the world’s oldest continuing culture to this day…fact. You’d think they listen but they don’t.

TE! So the birds prefer their bugs barbecued, like me. My birds use sign language for "bring seeds" and some vocalize "that cat from next door is here again." That was an interesting show. Thanks for that and thanks to the discorder for suggesting. I think I'm Ravenclaw too because I had to bring up two of them. 🦅🦉🦜

check out David Attenborough's short vid on the grand master of mimicry - the Lyre Bird. From car alarms to chainsaws it can mimic any sound. Theres quite a few reaction vids of it so shouldn't be any block issues

🔥🦅

Welcome back 💩 So after yesterdays video on Bowerbirds (which is now blocked 😡) I received a suggestion to react to the Firehawks! This intrigued me very much! So let’s go! 🥰 DISCORD: discord.gg/MtsPQmZn WISHLIST: throne.com/toniaelkins

At 1.53 Every Australian adopted your daughter

Heelo Tonia, I hope your neck has a speedy recovery. Unfortunately, I know not much about birds, so I am probably the wrong person to ask about birds. Actually, I know one thing about birds. When they move their wings, they can fly like magic, I suppose, but not all birds can fly. The last bit of the second video I was thinking should we be watching these birds having their moment of love, or is this kind of bird porn? Perhaps im just overthinking it. Lol.

Larger than a pigeon but smaller than a crow. The satin bowerbird is known for collecting anything blue and placing it in the bower. Clothes pegs, glass, plastic, straws, lego blocks, berries, bottle tops etc. The Regent Bowerbird is black and yellow and is smaller than the satin bowerbird. The bower is different to the nest. It's only used to attract a mate.

Good question Tonia is the bower the nest or do they build a separate nest to have young? They only ever tell us about the bower? The Australian Bower bird male is that black in colour that when light hits it in certain places you can see dark blue and I think they have a black, light blue and white banding in their eyes, beautiful bird and highly intelligent. A rich man can bye you a $1000 dollar gift, it doesn't mean he loves you. If another man works for 8hrs a day for little money and still provides for you,...then who is your man? I'm not sure what there thinking that's just my take on it,...lol, putting in the effort to say to those chicks, look at this sh_t ladies,...got the bower got the toys let's go and the chick says "yeah nah" seen better mate lol. No wonder they became so good at it. The younger male Bowerbirds said that's it the next Bower is going to be epic!!!

G'day! I really hope you get some long term relief for your neck pain...Soon! Unfortunately like many videos on Australian topics especially wildlife made by Americans they don't get all the facts correct... Most bowerbirds develop the colour recognition over time which is why the Satin bowerbird collects only blue items( The Western Bowerbird collects objects which are green silver or white)...We used to have a pair living near us in Sydney and I would often put out the odd bit of blue plastic or paper alongside the tray of food for the Lorikeets... The bower is strictly a courtship space and the female will the build a nest high in a tree and lay her usually 3 eggs alone... In the second video that stunning black and golden bird was a Regent bowerbird not a honeyeater... Cheers!
