Overrun by cute birds! Kookaburras and a magpie.

2 kookaburras and a magpie hang out inside while 2 more kookaburras patiently wait outside. Getting the kookaburras back outside is a struggle!
Please excuse the fact that I had a cough when I filmed this video so when I laugh it just turns into a cough 😅
Please note that I have changed what I feed the birds since filming this video. For more information visit www.brisbanebirdvet.com.au/bi... or contact your local avian experts.
These are wild birds that have much higher energy demands than captive birds and what I offer them as an occasional treat is only a tiny portion of their diet.

The most Australian Disney princess ever.

    @@sadrabbit53 I built a Cat room for my cat. Turns out she is a horrible fighter. I tried to do the 'let's let her be free' thing during the day and bring her in at night for dinner. A $400.00 vet bill, later, brought an end to her freedom. She got her ass kicked, really bad. She is too young to be left in the house unattended. Tears things up. So, I built her a room, just for her. She has limited access inside and a nice area outside. At 8 feet in height, she can climb all she wants. I plan on adding a tunnel as the outer part is next to a wooden fence. Saw some pictures of a tunnel along the top of a wooden fence, looked really nice. Eventually, maybe a second room at the other end of the tunnel. She loves her room and won't come in unless she is ready to come in. It was the best compromise that allows us to co-exist. Oh, and when she was 'free' she also thought it was big fun to climb onto the porch roof and then scream for us to climb up and get her down. That got old real fast.

    A female magpie has been visiting me for two years. She either taps on my screen door or sings a little song to announce her arrival. She sits next to me, outside on a bench. I hand feed her sliced tasty cheese. Once I offered her a meat pie, thinking she’d go for the meat. Nope. She only ate crust from the top. Not even pastry. She brightens my day.

    I'd strongly discourage feeding animals human food, ESPECIALLY dairy (i.e. cheese) and ESPECIALLY to birds - the preservatives, added sugars, salt, alien proteins and lack of the necessary nutritional elements might have a number of negative effects on their own health and that of their prospective babies. Also, the fact that an animal LIKES a certain food, is no indicator it's good for them. It might be like junk food is for us, or even be a poison. You know, like in dogs and chocolate for example.

But its important to be aware of: So many people (in the forests where i live), feed maggies & kookas mince meat. Which is a huge problem because it's got bugger all minerals and nutrition in it. The adults commonly regurgitate it back to their young chicks that grow up with undeveloped bones and wings from lack of minerals in their diet. Look up MBD. It's not pretty dealing with it in real life trust me, the young birds have to be euthanized.

    Animals all over the world will kill you, we just have a higher concentration of them, for a much smaller population than the world is readily able to understand. Australia has very few people, compared to most other countries, for the land mass that we consume. In case people forget, Australia is the same size as the USA, but we have around less than 10% of their population. So there is also many things that will kill you in the USA, (like mass gun killings) but you will likely not hear about it. So. Come to Australia, we want to welcome you, and you will not be eaten by a shark or spider or kangaroo unless you are a stupid tourist. And that is avoidable. You will be welcome, just be kind, and particularly aware that we have some ferocious ocean currents. Swim between the flags to stay alive.

    Aww you guys are sweet ❤ personally I think kangaroos would be the best candidate. I actually used to live a 5 minute walk from where a family of 15-20 lived. There are so many rabbits running around here but they're a pest animal and the kookaburras might try to eat the small ones...that would probably ruin the moment 😅

    I'm from Ireland and I remember being on a balcony looking out and I turned to my left and saw a kookaburra really close to me just chillin'. I gave him ham, we made friends lol. You never get that in Ireland. My Dad is Australian and the sound of a kookaburra is really nostalgic for me.

    It's 2 am and I rarely comment on any videos. Just never have anything that needs to be said. This time though, I have something today. This video was so wholesome and charming. I am from the US but moved to Australia and this video made me smile and giggle at your silly birds. I have magpies that come visit and they have even jumped into my house, haha! I never understood people's fear of them because they are so sweet and so intelligent. And yes, they are actually polite! Sometimes the younger ones go through an unruly stage, but you just show them that that behaviour is not acceptable in the clan and show them that you care about them. They bring their babies to you and it's so fun watching the little ones get brave enough to take a sunflower seed from your hand. And unlike cockatoos, they don't fight as much over food, they often share, taking turns next to the bowl. I apologize if I kinda ranted, I just love birds so much and they are so entertaining when you observe and engage with them. I feel like you do too, and this video has so much joy and love in it. Thank you for sharing, it brightened my day.

    I just love having birds visit. This week I had 2 kookas, a pair of crested-notch pigeons, a pair of lorikeets & some butcher birds, all at the same time, it was amazing. Although I didn’t have food for each type, they hung around anyway. I suspect others feed them too. I love the kookas even though I know all too well, they caught & ate the 3x big skinks I had tamed over the previous months. Who’d believe you could train garden skinks to take food?! I thought they were well protected but kookas are extremely patient. Animals are way smarter & more caring than we’re aware of.
