Magpie swooping is regional and is learnt from their parents. Some parts of rural Australia are suicide to enter an others are perfectly safe. It depends how their parents et were treated.

<3

Magpies used to swoop my partner every time she got her push bike out of the shed. Seems they hate cyclists. I told her to give them some seed. They don't swoop her any more but now they come into the house and ask for food when they become a bit "peckish", even when our cat is inside. Very cheeky. They also bring their kids too.

Even Australian ravens sound like they have an Aussie accent

Good job. What a great video thanks. I enjoy magpies in my life too.

I have a scar from being swooped walking to school many years ago. I still like them although I’m more fond of crows now.

Their song is simply enchanting

A Wedge-tailed Eagle killed my rooster by picking him up, bringing him to the sky and dropping him... the drop didn't kill him, the claws punched holes in his lungs. I see a wedge-tailed eagle and I am not only aw struck by their beauty I am horrified of how efficient they are.

Mate, what a dag you are, and what a wonderful doco. And get this … there's nothing wrong with Brussels Sprouts. other than the name. Cheers from Sth Oz. (ah, just realised that you didn’t get an albino roo on film for the great unwashed. I have seen one in the car headlights 50 yrs ago just north of Coober Pedy.)

I really hate reptile and other animal poachers. The amount of US people that have Australian lizards and don't even think about how they got there is beyond fucked

So even the Aboriginals have a concept of going into the west in death. That is wild

Thanks, great video, but you overlooked the fact that the Magpie is THE BIRD OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA and is a major component of the coat of arms.

Sentient snowstorm 😂😂

No way i have never seen a blue tongue drop its tail and they don't grow back lol

Thank you for amazing knowledge love your work

Love your videos and sense of humour. Thanks

pukka video. my GF at highscool was swooped during lunch and the magpie busted open a fairly major capillary on her head, she had blood dripping down her face and chest like she had been shot or something, the "sick bay" was horrified . we were laughing ...1990...

large googly eyes on ur bike helmet works better than zip ties

Actually every bird in the thumbnail is Evil

Hey mate! Love your videos; you have a fan in me. Would froth some content on how to attract all these iconic species to your backyard, and generally more info on plants! Cheers

Why fear magpies when dinosaur-like plovers terrorise the Down Under?

Magpies kick ass !!! Love them

Nice dude

Nah mate, those wedged tail eagles... They are doing the "eagle rock"... ruclips.net/video/oQfAZVsz6KM/видео.htmlsi=A1_qm00fz76oRyCK

One of the best things I’ve seen on RUclips. Genius 😁

Ah the plover, yes. The hells souls retuning to wreak havoc.

Can anyone tell me which bird makes a descending three note call before sunrise in the south east? A slow, soft, 1-2-3.

Your assumption that wedgies don't feed on livestock is false. They often prey on lambs and calves. A wedge tail will quickly despatch with a lamb by severing the spinal cord at the base of the skull.

Wow 😮 so beautiful

The “worse things than being swooped” comment still has me laughing😂😂

Thankyou great video. When i see 2 family groups puffed up with there wings down... acting all Mafia like .. i always say "boundary adjustments".

I missed it. What’s the ACTUAL kangaroo population? It’s ok . I’ll wait. Fun FACT from those of us who have lived with and worked in and across Ecology and Biology Platforms It is biologically impossible for kangaroo populations to rapidly increase or “explode”as is regularly stated. Kangaroos can only recover from decline by resuming their normal biological reproductive processes, which are slow. (Bilton Croft,2009,NSW Parliamentary Inquiry 2021) EDUCATE YOURSELF.

Stop trolling the Internet for information. It’s embarrassing. The Ibis unlike you BELONGS here. They have been pushed into Shitsville cities due to the ongoing destruction of their habitat. People especially those with no respect for Country or clue about it such as yourself ARE THE PROBLEM. The Ibis being the only birds that can kill Cane Toads …yknow the Cane Toads that were Introduced by the “Settlers”. The colonialism you continue to display in your videos where you claim wildlife who unlike you BELONG here are pests is appalling. Stay in “your “ backyard in your sandpit.

Removing all the negative comments showing this tosser up to have no fcking clue 😂😂This “Naturalist” gets all his information from the Internet 🤡😂😂

While I was doing a research project on pink cockatoos in cunnamulla corellas had a call so similar that almost every time they would land I would spend 10 minutes recording all the information before lifting the binoculars and realising it's the wring bird.

They should play soft background sounds of our native birds at the international arrivals hall at Australian airports.

there used to be a LOT of brushtail possums in the park near my school. one day a friend and I got a pizza and sat on the grass to eat, when a cheeky possum tried to help himself to our pizza. luckily the lid was shut, but he was trying his hardest to find a way in!!! shooing didn't work, so in the end I picked him up and put him off the picnic rug. he made a snarling noise as I lifted him, then decided the pizza was probably shit anyway, so left for the nearest tree

We live in a nesting pairs territory and thé father feeds thé young as well as the mother and most of the young leave home after a year.

bastard bloody birds i think everyone in australia has a childhood trauma HA!

They are also in New Zealand. Introduced?

what you get from designing a bird run by sugar

2:36 Now we just need Saphire.

i like

What a great video. Well done mate!

I can only assume that the reason that there has been no ibis feature in these videos yet is that my adblocker thinks it is a paid feature for the hotel chain and is cutting it out. Please do it again using their bin chicken, poker, or 'that bird you always see at the zoo that isn't a peacock' aliases so I can watch it as well.

“Mucous-filled kazoo” I should have you charged for assault

Tawny frogmouths are cool and all, but these interesting facts can't distract me from the Age of Mythology soundtrack you have playing in the background.

No Wallaroos and or Kangaroos are common. You claim to be a Naturalist yet continue to show you have very little knowledge about Wildlife and Birdlife as I saw in your video about Noisy Minors. Kangaroos do not require top down predators again I’d strongly suggest you educate yourself. You can start with some of the testimony myself and many others including Dr Dan Ramp gave at the Parliamentary Inquiry into the Health and wellbeing of Kangaroos and other Macropods in NSW,2021 where evidence showed that the Dingo is an Introduced Opportunistic Hunter. Kangaroos do not jump into traffic. Time you volunteered sometime in Wildlife Rescue and got a clue. And again you show your ignorance. Kangaroo populations are ESTIMATED using methodology by the State Government that was again shown at the NSW Kangaroo Inquiry to be flawed given correction factors are used to artificially inflate populations to biologically impossible estimates. Cattle are introduced pests with a total grazing pressure of uoto 98% . Kangaroos are Indigenous to Country and a Sacred Totem Animal to many of we Aboriginal people with a total grazing pressure of between 0-2 %. And no. Kangaroos are not perpetually pregnant,where are you getting this rubbish from? It takes 18 months for a sexually mature female (sexual maturity is at around 3yrs of age) to raise ONE independent Joey to full independence,during Drought or given a multitude of stressors reproduction is halted with upto 99% juvenile mortality during Drought. Embryonic diapause is rare in Eastern Grey Kangaroos, and unknown in Western Grey Kangaroos. A doe’s first joey is the most likely to die. She will first successfully raise her young at about ~3 yrs, with that joey weaning when she is ~4 yrs. Wild kangaroo juvenile mortality in the first year of life is similar to other mammals in that it is high around 73% in optimal natural conditions. 50% of emergent young Eastern Grey joeys still dependent on their mothers have been recorded as being taken by foxes. ​ By ~12 yrs - if the doe lives that long - few females continue to produce offspring. Fun fact. Kangaroos are omnivores. It’s biologically impossible for Kangaroos to overpopulate again GET EDUCATED. And do NOT refer to anything Cultural. I recommend the Documentary INDEPENDENT of the Government and an educational video for ignorant people like yourself which is “Kangaroo. A Love Hate Story” and pay very close attention to what Yuin Elder Uncle Max Dulumunmun has to say along with Ex Kangaroo Shooter Lyn Gynther. Then you can get onto Facebook and take a look at the Facebook Page “Kangaroo Industry-Dirty Graphic Truth, and ffs GET EDUCATED.

Incorrect. The Noisy Minor is essential to the biodiversity of Country. If there is ecological imbalance then the Noisy Minor will become the dominant bird,once ecological balance is restored they resume the essential role they have always played as pollinators. Noisy Minors also keep insects at bay especially mosquitoes and we can tell what the coming summer will be like when we watch how high or low the Noisy Minors construct their nest,the lower the nest the hotter the summer,the higher the nest the cooler the Summer. The Noisy Minors are also known as the alarm bells of the bush and we who live WITH Country rely on them to let us know where snakes are and in chasing off predators such as Eagles. I’d strongly suggest that you educate yourself because if you are demonising these birds then that shows how completely ignorant you are. Fun Fact. NO Government who are illegally governing on Stolen Land have the right to call ANY species an introduced problem.
