As was mentioned, the galahs, cockies and budgies do way less damage to crops and farms than introduced species such as feral pigs, deer , rabbits and farmers who clear the birds natural environment for monoculture crops.
The diversity of wild parrot species in Australia indeed adds to the unique charm of the country's natural heritage. Australia is home to a wide variety of parrots, each with its own distinct characteristics and beauty. Protecting their habitats and ensuring their survival is essential for preserving this natural diversity.
Seeing wild parrots in their natural habitat is indeed a truly unforgettable experience. Witnessing their vibrant colors, hearing their melodic calls, and observing their behaviors in the wild provides a deeper understanding and appreciation of their unique place in the ecosystem.
We have a flock of twenty one Lorikeets living in a tree on our suburban house block.We also see a flock of over one hundred Sulphur Crested Cockatoos frequent our neighbourhood.
We live on the edge of a large town in Queensland. We get rainbow lorikeets, galahs, cockatoos, magpies, king parrots, corellas, native doves and other wild birds flying in every afternoon for a feed. It is very pretty to see but they can make an awful racket at times. They are wild birds all of them but they will land on me and eat out of my hand. We feed them wild parrot food. You have to feed them properly or they can get sick. At night, the lorikeets settle in a nearby tree and argue and screech at each other. The noise can be deafening. The cockies are the most destructive - they chew and destroy everything eg TV aerials, pegs on the clothes line, wooden windows trims, awnings, gutters, any wires attached to the house. They also screech when the food is late getting out. They will rattle and chew on the screen door until the food arrives. We have replaced 3 in 10 years.
I lived near a cricket ground in Alice Springs that had been beautifully prepared and was green and lush. I noticed one day there was this massive patch of white on the ground and upon close inspection realised it was thousands of parrots. Within 24 hours there was not a single blade of grass remaining on the ground.
The presence of wild parrots does add a vibrant and lively atmosphere to the Australian landscape. Their colorful plumage and lively behavior make for a truly captivating sight.
Meeting wild birds during your travels can indeed be a source of happiness and wonder. Their graceful movements and unique characteristics add beauty to the natural world and create memorable experiences.
As an Australian,it amazes me that so many people in the comments say it would be a dream come true to see wild parrots or have some kind of interaction with them. Here in Oz parrots are part of the scenery pretty much everywhere. Makes me realise how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful country with unique flora and fauna. I hope a solution can be found that dosent impact on these beautiful but destructive parrots..unfortunately,some native and all introduced fauna that thrive in these conditions becomes pests.
You also need to look at the other side of it. Video talks about 'polluting' parrots. Well, it's nothing compared to the pollution created by Australia's awful farming techniques. Sure, some species are overwhelming. Others are extinct or on the verge of extinction, thanks to habitat loss caused by farming.
We have parrots in N. America, but not north of Mexico (unless you count some escaped, breeding invasives in Florida). We used to have a native parrot in the USA, the Carolina Parakeet -- of course we utterly obliterated them by the early 20th century, because they were a nuisance to farmers. Don't do the same in Australia.
My son married an aussie Sheila, and we went over for the wedding from here in California , and again for the birth of our grandson . If there ever was paradise, it's Australia !! 🇦🇺 but remember , even in the garden of eden , there was a snake .
It's incredible to have a close encounter with a wild parrot! Their feathered beauty truly leaves us in awe. Observing these magnificent creatures up close allows us to appreciate the wonders of nature.
Absolutely, conservation efforts are crucial for protecting native wildlife, including wild parrots. Preserving their natural habitats and implementing conservation strategies is vital to maintain biodiversity and ecological stability.
The presence of wild parrots does add to the beauty of nature in our surroundings. Their vibrant colors and graceful flights can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the environment. Appreciating their presence while taking measures to protect crops can help maintain a harmonious coexistence.
I love parrots. I think that you are blessed to have them. They are so beautiful and colorful. They can learn to talk. I was thinking by watching them in this video, can anyone imagine if they were taught to speak and have them talk all at the time they meet in these farms? 😂❤
Budgies, also known as Budgerigars, are popular pets due to their friendly personalities, attractive plumage, and relative ease of care. They have gained popularity worldwide.
*Every evening, my family sits by the fireplace for dinner and watches your videos. Thank you for providing such relaxing and gentle feelings. We love you!*
Absolutely! Parrots have indeed captivated artists, poets, and nature enthusiasts for generations. Their unique features and vibrant plumage make them a subject of inspiration and admiration.
The colorful plumage of Australian parrots is truly a sight to behold! Their vibrant feathers serve multiple functions, from attracting mates to camouflage and species recognition. It's a wonderful display of nature's artistry.
The price of parrots as pets can indeed vary greatly depending on the species and rarity. It's important to remember that responsible acquisition, such as adoption or purchasing from reputable breeders, should be prioritized to support ethical practices and the well-being of these amazing birds.
Australias parrot populations are a valuable resource for scientific research, offering insights into the biology, behavior, and evolution of these fascinating creatures.

Red Indians first owned our land? How fuckìng ignorant . Australian aboriginals aren't some blown ins who rocked up 20,000 years ago to compete with sloth, and squirrels. They even turned up, looked at wombats in eye, whilst looking up and said "nice place, needs more fire and less WHAT THE FUCK!
I sympathize with the farmers , because I come from an old American farming and cattle ranching Texas family . But I am also for protecting as much wild life as possible because I've seen the destruction of so much wildlife in my own country . The loss of each species means eventually man will suffer for it .
White settlement of Australia began in 1788 and many fauna (and flora) have adapted to the development of suburbia. The Sulphur Crested Cockatoo here is spoken of in Australian Indigenous persons folklore, or the Dreamtime. Those first people have a history going back over 60,000 years....oldest living culture in the workd.
Galah Cockatoos are known for their intelligence and problem-solving abilities. They have been observed using tools and solving puzzles in captivity, highlighting their cognitive capabilities.
It's truly remarkable how wild parrots can grow and adapt to various environments across Australia. Their ability to thrive in diverse habitats is a testament to their resilience and versatility.
All of these various species are absolutely beautiful!! We don't have large wild parrots like that here in the US. I do understand that for all their beauty, they can also be a nuisance in such abundant numbers.
Finding a harmonious coexistence with wild parrots while protecting farmers' livelihoods is indeed essential. It's important to explore strategies such as implementing protective measures for crops, promoting sustainable farming practices, and supporting initiatives that provide alternative food sources for parrots. Collaboration between farmers, conservationists, and local communities can help find effective solutions.
Yes, it is remarkable how wild parrots have adapted to urban environments. Their ability to thrive in urban areas showcases their resilience and adaptive nature.

This is such an eye-opening video! 🦜 It's incredible to see how Australian farmers manage the challenge of 17 million wild parrots. Their innovative and sustainable approaches are truly impressive. Great content-thanks for sharing! 👏
*What do you think is the best solution to control millions of wild parrots in Australia?*
I think it's better to take all their eggs to control the quantity, the parrot eggs are edible😅😅😅
@@yesidovlogs That's a good idea, but it seems Australians don't like the taste of these eggs.
I'm more interested in a solution to control the millions of wild humans.
