I got most of the regular Australian birds around here but in lieu of another story bout magpies, ravens, kookaburras or parrots I'd like to bring up a lesser commented on bird.

The Silvereye. They really like the vines outside my office window and when they're flowering I can get 15 to 20 of these tiny green beauties. Like golf ball sized chittering green orbs.

Spotted 3 Brush Turkeys in a tree on my home today and another one scratching about underneath. I've never seen them up in a tree before.

That little celebration hop is adorable! It's so smart using both its beak and feet like that.

e: Oh man, this is a whole genre of video. I'm going down a rabbit hole tonight...

Ahahaha, I love this one. The bin owner put an actual lock on the bin, but then also put a brick on top just to troll them. The ol' brick on the lid is hilarious because if these videos are anything to go by, all they seem to do is make them stronger.

People always joke about the snakes and spiders in Australia, whereas it's really the birds that terrorise the country.
Cockatoos have the intelligence and the sense of mischief of a 3 year old child. Anything we humans do is just a delightful challenge for them in working out how to prank us with it.
Now the real flying racoons are actually the Ibises, or Bin Chickens, as they are derisively called.

Thanks! I got it from a mysterious gifter who wasn't happy that I admitted to looking up a solution to a puzzle in BABA IS YOU. I have since repented, but my avatar lives on.
