A trick I learned feeding a crow I rescued, is to use chopsticks when feeding. They acted like a beak stand in and protected my fingers from the hungry little bugger. 😂

Their mini T-Rex growling sound they use for greeting is just beyond awesome. Fierce and handsome at the same time.

"Now who wants a treat?" "Well I didn't fly down here for nothing!"

[@dip-tree]

I live inside a forest (in India). A few crows come to my window every morning (and sometime repeats their visit during the day). I give them a treat they like - locally they are called 'gatiya' - little pieces of fried noodle like sticks made from bengal gram flour (it is a local snack). What is amazing is the pinpoint accuracy with which they pick up the tiny tid-bits from my hand - never ever did their beaks touch me - forget about hurting me. It is so wonderful to have these friends visit me and trust me enough to allow such an interaction. We literally have an eye-to-eye conversation.

[@davidaeldon1214]

What amazing birds.......from the kingfisher family. There are species of birds that are of a very high intelligence.... I'm always amazed at how willing your birds are....also magpies, to be so close to you. It's more than just food, I think......but their curiosity as well as being a highly social species.

[@darilynadams7281]

How lovely & you feed them. Gosh! I'd stay there till they'd move! But then I'm retired.

[@teeanahera8949]

Did you make that up? Kookaburras are not particularly intelligent and the are most definitely not a social species, in fact they are highly territorial, experiments have shown they will refuse to take food from another’s territory even when it is very close to the edge of the other’s boundary. Kookaburras have tight familial bonds but not with other groups of kookaburras and will defend their territory make them only social when females leave the family group to breed with other males. Highly social species are birds that do not exhibit territoriality such as Rainbow lorikeets.

[@francescaa8331]

Oh, I knew they looked familiar. Yeah kingfishers.

[@leefrankel4191]

Didn’t know they’re related to kingfishers, but once I realized it, it was obvious.

[@user-cr4qp1nh5t]

Such big beaks when they’re so close!! My Dad used to feed blue-winged Kookaburras sporadically and got such enjoyment out of seeing them close up. We lived right next to the Murray River and saw so many varieties. Thanks for bringing back some great memories! ❤

[@teeanahera8949]

You saw so many varieties of Kookaburras? Blue Winged kookaburras are rarely seen south of Brisbane (except near the coast) so seeing them on the Murray must have been a treat. Don’t worry about their big beaks, they’re not particularly strong.

[@boblouden6663]

I live 12 ks from Barmah on the Murray. Beautiful place to chill out. Wildlife abounds.

[@user-cr4qp1nh5t]

@teeanahera8949 We had blue-winged kookaburras mostly. I should have clarified that there were varieties of kookaburras young and old and occasionally we heard laughing kookaburras. Along the Murray there are huge numbers of all sorts of birds (sorry about that).

Thank you for sharing so much nice videos of your Australian birds. It's very interesting to watch from Norway since these birds are so foreign to us.

[@Adolphin1]

Agreed, here in Scotland we have a scottish version of the Australian magpie, the Scottish version is more puffy and doesn't swoop down and attack people, I don't know if that's a good thing or not, it'd be funny to see birds swooping down at people, but I can see why some wouldn't like it. 😅

Yeaaa Australia gave mee a 3 month e-visa I spent (mostly) in an ancient caldera town: Yuki Disappointed I never got 2 see/experience a kangaroo/"joey" HOWEVER: (happily) did get alot of experience of: KOOKABURRAs giving them cheese chunks .. after 2 months they were so tame as this gal shows us. Physically cookaburras are quite large birds - about like a seagul. Make the laughing sound The smart /sharp looking magpy (black & white) birds can make AMAZING sounds/songs (also like cheese)
