I missed the invasive “Laughing Dove … Streptopelia senegalensis”.

I'm so jealous, in France we only have 5 species of columbidae...

After nectar plants ❎️ After nectar bugs ✅️

I like the more simple tunes, like E and D, followed by A, then C, B, then F. I have been trying to use Suno lately too, as it saves the work of finding non-protected music that I can use on KZbin. GrAndy

Thanks. Had one of these on my verandah this morning and didn't know what it was. Glorious calls, I hope they stay around.

Got here from the painting 'Spirit of the Plains' by Sydney Long. Lovely video.

Thank you so much. Your videos are a delight to eyes, ears, and the mind.

Don't sound as good as the eastern black cockkies

We began hearing these birds in the past week, today we actually saw the bird. The bird makes it’s call during the night also. We have never seen or heard the bird before, we live on the east coast near Wollongong.

Amazing Australian Pratincole observation footage. Thanks for sharing. 1 LIKE for the video.

Of course evolution can explain the commonalities in the skins of vertebrates. They all have common ancestors. Love your bird videos, but your science is rubbish.

Over recent years have been hearing / seeing them in Centennial Park Sydney... Look and sound unique. Like flying dinosaurs

I like sulphur-crested cockatoos more, although corellas are also cute

It's like a corner of heaven

Elle trop ❤cette Glaréole , trop bel oiseau, et splendide, ont ne se lasse pas à l'observer ❤❤❤.!

Beautifully colour,🤩🤩🤩

A lot of elegant looking birds - the shot with the pied imperial pigeon with the berries was especially nice.

Fascinating bird - also enjoyed the footage of the other outback residents to give us the bigger picture.

So a fantastic close up! Thanks so much for your sharing!Have a blessed day !

they seem to be more long-legged and long-winged than other kinds of praticoles

Mantap bang 👍

First time hearing of this bird... You got some beautiful footage

So cute and beautiful 😍

🙂👍💚🇵🇹

Very interesting bird, I didn't know they existed until now. Beautiful footage and I love seeing your editing improve with every video. I can not understate how much joy your art brings me, always appearing at the perfect time. Thank you.

M7 Kings Langley every year there is 2 plus that show up.

My favourite birds love them 😊

Cockatiels are one of my favorite animals. Mine is sitting on my shoulder as I watch

When it comes to Cockatoos I think Major Mitchell’s are my favourite breed of Cockatoo. Not just for their pink plumage but that fiery crest on their head. What a beautiful bird. ❤️‍🔥🦜🔥

Great video! I have a family of these nesting in my front yard and hope to film their progress. Its hard as the nest is really well hidden and I dont want to disturb them. Would it be ok if I used some of your video? (attributed of course)

thanks.

Nice documentary

@plumes oz excuse me. Can i download the video?

Me and my wife would love to see them in the wild, wonderful animals. Great footage pal cheers 👍🏻

Nice bush sounds and great photography ruined by a background piano

I think its important that a soundtrack doesn't project human emotions onto animals. Good soundtracks for nature documentaries create an access point between human and animal emotions. therefore i believe tracks B and F are most fitting for this Pelican video. Your channell is really important, we are planning on spending the rest of the day watching it.

Very informative as well, I really have enjoyed your videos. I have noticed a species ‘loss’ in my adjacent wetland north of Sydney and that is the ‘pheasant Caucal’ spelling? Its call was a deep hoo hoo hoo, and it had a long tail. I’ve lived her 59 years and they have always been here, sadly last year and this…none to be heard. Do you have any vids on this and similar wetland birds especially NSW? Take care

Beautiful photography and great narration thank you very much from an Australian bird lover. I used to breed Neophema ? Can’t even spell it now ! But they are gorgeous little birds, I was successful until bushfires damaged my large Avery. Now I try to care for the many species that visit my large 2750 sm block adjacent to coastal wetland. I now focus on PROTECTION from domestic and feral cats. The destruction is noticeable! The ‘flocks’ of small ground based birds have taken an obvious reduction in numbers…the cause 2 cats hunting in the early and late evenings. Please if you read this KEEP YOUR CAT INSIDE ALWAYS! I own a cat and he is kept inside. Thanks again and I did subscribe, maybe you could join the cat curfew in mentioning the crisis created by irresponsible cat ownership. Take care

Great to hear you have seen such big flocks, I was lucky enough to get some nice photos when I was out and about in far north eastern SA. They were feeding on small bushes, only 2 but as I had never seen this particular species in the wild I was very happy. I'll have to get my photos out and see if I can match the colour variation. The next rare bird in the wild is the Major Mitchel sighted several times out Cobar way. Thanks for the lovely pictures and story.

mine ain't fit for the wild.

Do other cockatoos have pecking order?

This was absolutely wonderful, so informative, satisfying all my curlew curiosities that were aroused this evening by 3 curlews outside my window! Thank you so much. I have subscribed.

Notice often the flight of these little parrots are often in sync, take a look. One matter that does worry me is the fact that many water sources near central Australian Oil and gas fields are not covered and also heavily polluted. Long term affect ?? Control? These ponds must contaminate all wildlife that comes to drink.

I worked near the Simpson desert for nearly 10 years from early 2006. I watched mesmerised one day when a 'whole hill' lifted into the air as my vehicle approached. They just came out of the ground swirled around close to the ground for maybe 20sec or so then dropped like stones back to earth and disappear entirely. This was repeated many times over half hour of so until I guess the seed was eaten. Many thousands were in this flock, brilliant green swirling black against the sky then bright green like dye dropped into water, stunning. I was lucky enough to get some incredible 'wildlife' type pictures but a video was needed to do this wildlife event justice. In the following years I came across these delightful little birds many times as my job was as an active field technician. If ever you are lucky enough to witness one of these events you will be stunned. A tip is to be up at dawn and scan the horizon and you may be lucky enough to see flocks of various sizes heading off to group up. Through the day you may also be lucky enough to have a flock of many dozen cross your path in a high speed chase of fluorescent green before they disappear from sight. Budgerigars in the outback are one of natures real delights. I have also witnessed a HUGE flock of Correa near Innamincka noisey and spectacular as you could hear them coming from kilometres away, well over a thousand birds. Sadly I was working and photos not practical. Hot spot for me was near a place called Jackson, an oil and gas processing plant and towards the west. Thanks for this video it is really good to see these magical birds on a wildlife video. Reality is about 10 times better but this is as good as many will see.

Beautiful thank you for good information ❤

Such a terrific lot of info. Thanks so much. But the music is so annoying when I'm trying to listen to bird calls. Can you please not use it?

cant wait for more vids

I was very surprised by a Grey Shrike-Thrush the other day. I knew that they were omnivorous, but I had no idea that they also preyed on small lizards and geckos. The bird I spotted in my back yard had a gecko at least as long as itself firmly grasped in its bill. It flew off with it, so I was not able to see the technique it was to use to consume the gecko, but I reckon it would have been a bit of a mission.

When i first acquired a pair of finches i fell in love with them. I dreamed of breeding lot's of them soon. Thanks for this video
