I'm pretty sure whoever filmed this put the seeds next to the kookaburra to get it in the same shots as the lorikeets. And the kookaburra ain't moving cos he's not a pussy.
@@santyclause8034 lorikeets are cheeky and have strong beaks....little bullies if they want to be. I had 3 kookaburras in my last rented property on south coast, the baby was so clumsy I named him "Goofy". They would eat strips of shredded meat. Beautiful birds, had a pair of nesting bower birds too. Never use blue clothes pegs!
Because the birds are better off relying on human beings (aka parasites) in their evolution? Or just more parasitic entertainment/abuse of nature for human-site selfish 'pleasure'?
@Jesse Potato Yes, this is high risk living with the bush so close to the house. A lot of councils wont give permits for houses in thick bush anymore, and insurance companies refuse to insure them because the fire risk is so high.
@@Beanick Ahaha I saw that before i read your comment, classic! The names you see on here.. Love your videos Nique, I've shared them with my friends and family. I notice you haven't posted for a while so I'm happy to have seen your comment here of 1 year ago. Hope you're well mate, thanks for all the videos
@@iAWP- Thanks for the kind feedback! I must get cracking and do another vid or 2. The birds are all here every day, they are such a delight. Now that summer is just around the corner I have the opportunity. Might do something with the brush turkeys, of which we have a LOT. Loving them is hard! Sometimes we have 14 or 15 roosting in the trees above my front stairs, and in the morning it's turkey poo city. Not fun to clean up...
+BIG RIG - Yea, birds are cute... Have you seen that video where a woodpecker breaks the back of the head of a baby pigeon in the pigeon's nest and eats its brains while the baby pigeo is still alive? What about the heron swallowing baby duckilings??
The state is New South Wales, and the state capital is Sydney. I live on the northern beaches of Sydney. I consider myself to be very fortunate to have these wonderful creatures as neighbours!
I live in Australia, Perth, in the suburbs we don't get this kind of interaction or closeness with the birds. I always have out two above-ground dishes of fresh water and I feed a little group of doves some sunflower seeds. They've taken a year or two to get used to me, and are far less afraid, but they tend to fly away if I come near, within a couple meters or so. We get butcher birds, their one of my faves, along with the occasional kookaburra, plus some ibis and plenty of wattlers, honey eaters, magpies and crows. Last year I even saw a sacred kingfisher at our larger water bowl, my goodness he/she was pretty, so much colour, blues, greens, beautiful! Plus we have the southern book-book owl who I've been hearing outside my window since the start of autumn a few months ago. Lots of birds fly over our backyard, the rainbow lorakeets seem to stop off and have a go at our bottlebrush but don't really get down to eye-level. I've been seeing the pink and grey cockatoos, and the rare Carnaby's black cockatoo's fly about recently. Just wish they'd all stop in at my house! We have no cats (and I shoo any randoms away during the day), supply fresh water in two sized bowls, provide some seed and good grubs for meals, what more could a bird want!
i think the birds near suburbs are more careful. even if there aren't any cats in your own backyards, the stray ones will have a go at a bird if they get a chance. i found a big tabby hiding behind my bird bath once. also the loris in the suburbs have a lot of nectar trees in gardens and roads, this place in the video seems to be more thickly wooded. they probably come there habitually to get a reliable feed.
@@skullsaintdead I live in the Perth hills and the magpies are extremely friendly and tame! Many magpies consisting the majority of them being very young magpies come and sit on your lap as we feed them. We can even pet them sometimes
@@hongdang2114 Oh wow, they must trust you! I know a lady that feeds them mince and they seem to be super friendly, doing all these twirls in the air to catch the mince, coming right up to you and even tapping on her door as a reminder its dinner time. I've never heard of them sitting in laps though or being touched!
yes they become "moody"/aggressive when people feed them. We have witnessed this with King Parrots and other animals fighting over seed. We should not be feeding them it displaces these birds and causes serious health issues such as obesity.
I love the bush Lorikeets in particular shouldn’t be eating seeds. They mostly eat nectar and fruit, and their specialised fluffy tongues can be damaged by seeds.
He's like an internet troll. He's just there because he can be. He doesn't care about the event (they don't eat what these other birds are eating). He's not contributing at all to the conversation. He just wants to hang around and fuck with everyone else.
Interesting hypothesis and I mostly agree! But I don't think he (or she?) is a "troll". Kooky is 1.) basically lazy, and 2.) probably hoping for a bit (more) of mince meat. Plus he just likes the social scene (maybe hoping to pick up a bird?). The birds that visit daily remind me of the ANOVA statistical test (analysis of variance) i.e. there is more trolling within species than between species. Just had a visit from kooky and the loris right now and kooky just sits there while the loris squabble amongst themselves but more or less ignore kooky. Your comment and thoughts much appreciated Ian, a nice insight - thanks!
Nique Thanks for responding! My comment was meant to be more humorous than an actual hypothesis. Your bird friends are beautiful and I'm sure they bring you a lot of joy! I live in the city so I rarely see welcome animals in my surroundings.
You are an absolute insane person if you think the Kookaburra isn't waiting for meat and doesn't even notice the seed are food. All he cares about is the birds around him giving him space. And the meat the camera person feeds it typically
+Kat S. yeah, I have to agree. just watched it again - sad to say that lovely kookaburra has passed away. but the lorikeets are with us every day and they are a constant source of amusement - so funny!
Stolen country from black people as usual. Then they start with the repression , genocide etc! Wicked wicked people. To top it all off most of these people stole these land in the name of religion!
Around here the rainbow lorikeets are the boss, any bird that goes near them they scream at until it goes away, king parrots, little corellas, cockatoos everything
We loved our rainbow Lori as she was so much fun and even learned to speak a large amount of words and sentence. She was so smart and loved to play all day. She died 2 days after her 20th birthday. We miss he so very much and our home is so quiet now.🐥

Aniimo They tidy up our mess and eat carrion. Also their manure is brilliant for the soil. It is so strong that it has to be used sparingly in gardens!
It’s so beautiful seeing these birds fly free in nature. The pet store near my house has the lorikeets and other little parrots in tiny cages, it’s heartbreaking.
What a joy to be able to see these noisy colorful Lorikeets on your own porch. The kookaburra remains so calm as they try to move him off 'their' seeds!
Kookaburras don't even eat seeds, they eat strips of meat. So that one's just chilling for the sake of chilling. Edit: Kookaburra does NOT sit in the gumdrop tree, eating all the gumdrops he can see.

@2Ryled that kookaburra is a completely wild bird, but has become kind of a pet as he hangs around a lot. He has a nice gentle disposition - most of the time! You are right about the corellas, the same applies to big cockatoos and galahs. They all like to sharpen their beaks on my timber house so I normally shoo them away. But I do allow them to hang around to make brief cameo appearances in my videos!
With the music and everything, it makes me feel like these green birds are like the peasants in France while the other birds are like some high order thing.
Didn’t know anything about Kookaburras until I saw some of these videos, now I absolutely love them! They have a laid back,chilled vibe to them, like yeah… I’m just hanging out… it’s cool! ❤
Welcome to Australia. Where if we don't have spiders and death . We have these birds to bless. Proud to live in a bird and bug filled island, and I'm definitely not moving out.
Nique. credit to you. for having so much patience at filming those beautiful birds. if only you realize how much joy it brings to a lot of people. who are not able to be as lucky as you to be able to do what you do. THANK YOU
I find it amazing that what I would call an "exotic bird" is just something that lives wild around there. I'm gonna bring a pigeon to Australia and watch everyone freak out at the sight of it.
You have a right to be! Australia is a beautiful country! Took my young daughters there for a stay in 2001 and had a lovely time. Terrific people, awesome hospitality and kindness. Unforgettable. Stay free and strong, Australians! Love from California ❤️🇺🇸💕🇦🇺
I recommend a airbnb along the great ocean road. Parrots and cockatoos are everywhere and will come down to your balcony for some seeds. Make sure you buy some seeds though and fruit for the lorikeets :) Lorne's a good place, lots of trees and parrots
If I lived somewhere that had wild kookaburras, cockatoos, and parrots, I think I’d stay out on my deck all day long and never go in! They are all just so cool.
Nique, thanks so much for showing us those gorgeous Australian birds, so beautiful. That Koohaburra is watching over the parrots like a granddad and if they misbehave he pecks them so they are good boys and eats their seeds with so much mannerism. Edit: I am loving that orchestra so much.
What an amazing array of God's creatures. I love all animals, but I especially love birds. And this is so different than the birds we get at our feeder here in Wisconsin. I was hoping to hear the call of the Kookaburra. Amazing how close you were and that you were able to touch the Kookaburra! I love how the Kookaburra is unphased by the parrots. Lovely video!
Me too! Since I was saved just over 4 years ago I just love the Lord's birds and His creatures! It's like my whole life up until then I was seeing things in black and white and after I was saved I saw things in colour for the first time. The more I walk with the Lord the more I hate man made stuff and the more I love creation. It is all clothed in beauty for His glory. I love how God has perfectly made every creature by His infinite wisdom not only fit for its purpose with all the physical attributes and skills it needed but they are beautiful too. You can see His love and mercies and He teaches me so much through His creation. Oh He is so beautiful and so are His creatures who have suffered so much from mankind's rebellion and sin. God bless you dear friend. The kookaburras are so funny because they sound like they laugh and the parrots are rainbow lorikeets. We get the lorikeets where we live in western Victoria Australia. We also get eastern and crimson rosellas which are just gorgeous. The rosellas chuckle to each other like a squeeky toy. Australia has some beautiful creatures. God has given each continent such unique and awesome creatures and habitats. I'm not big on technology but I'm so grateful I can see all His creatures from all around the world which I wouldn't get the blessing of seeing otherwise.
Man I love how the kookaburra is literally just existing there as if it is his territory and occasionally pecks at the other birbs to shoo them away, and how alarmed the remaining 2 parrots looked up when the kookaburra turned his head in 3:47, all of that, all the birds, they are so cute man
The fact that kookaburra don’t even eat seeds, instead just hanging out with other parrot and pecks them from time to time makes it even cuter
I'm pretty sure whoever filmed this put the seeds next to the kookaburra to get it in the same shots as the lorikeets. And the kookaburra ain't moving cos he's not a pussy.

Msstaui Db Yes we have them to visit every day，so fun to watch them🧸
They're carnivorous, so they need a bit more heft in the beak department.

@daAnder71 Then why is there one living near my house when I'm about 100km from the nearest body of water large enough to even have fish?
Because the birds are better off relying on human beings (aka parasites) in their evolution? Or just more parasitic entertainment/abuse of nature for human-site selfish 'pleasure'?

Relaxed little carnivores lol they are pretty cool
I agree.
Welcome to Australia.
Where if we don't have spiders and death .
We have these birds to bless.
Proud to live in a bird and bug filled island, and I'm definitely not moving out.
@Mr Sunday7 Don't even remind me hahaha, can't wait for this upcoming summer where my Internet will be just as dead as I will be
Nique. credit to you. for having so much patience at filming those beautiful birds. if only you realize how much joy it brings to a lot of people. who are not able to be as lucky as you to be able to do what you do. THANK YOU
The stern cucaburra is like a teacher watching over his students lol
It’s amazing that lorikeets are Australia’s sparrows. Hardships.. thanks for this great laugh and great music!
If ya ask me that kookaburra is a diva
That kookaburra is gangster. Showing the other birds who's boss.
Greatest country on earth. Love that we can sit on the verandah and enjoy such beauty. Great video mate.
I love kookaburras but also rainbow lorikeets, we have some stunning birds in Oz!
I find it amazing that what I would call an "exotic bird" is just something that lives wild around there. I'm gonna bring a pigeon to Australia and watch everyone freak out at the sight of it.
Though not as common as other birds, we still got pigeons haha 🤣
@@tobomauyou obviously haven’t been to Melbourne or Sydney
Makes me proud to be Australian 🇦🇺
But your Government is criminal, like ours in Germany.
You have a right to be!
Australia is a beautiful country!
Took my young daughters there for a stay in 2001 and had a lovely time.
Terrific people, awesome hospitality and kindness. Unforgettable. Stay free and strong, Australians!
Love from California ❤️🇺🇸💕🇦🇺
And you should be. Australia is fabulous and a gift to the world. Sacramento, CA USA
Wow I'm so incredibly jealous what a beautiful country
One of the advantages of living in Oz, is that your birds are so much more interesting than in many other places.
Yup and these are all very common bird species in Australia.
3:32 That warning "Peep" gets me haha
It is so refreshing to see birds free from confinement s... it is much more amazing to watch and observe animals in their natural habitats...
One of the entries on my 'bucket' list is 'visit Australia someday'.
best nature in the world mate
best natures, worst spiders
Dr. Hash No-one here has died from a spider bite for 60 years. Btw The US and Brazil have an array of spiders to rival Australias
I would love to go to Australia and see the beautiful wildlife. All those gorgeous birds and other amazing creatures, it would be heaven.
Come on down then Gwen its a great destination for animal lovers for sure and extra special for parrot lovers.
Hope you come over mate, you'll have a great time :)
I recommend a airbnb along the great ocean road. Parrots and cockatoos are everywhere and will come down to your balcony for some seeds. Make sure you buy some seeds though and fruit for the lorikeets :)
Lorne's a good place, lots of trees and parrots
@@greathornedowl1783 Thank you for the information, I will keep it for the time that I am fortunate enough to be able to go there.
If I lived somewhere that had wild kookaburras, cockatoos, and parrots, I think I’d stay out on my deck all day long and never go in! They are all just so cool.
Such beautiful birds, a veritable rainbow of plumage. The kookaburras have real personality and are friendly to humans. It's so sweet!💖
Nique, thanks so much for showing us those gorgeous Australian birds, so beautiful. That Koohaburra is watching over the parrots like a granddad and if they misbehave he pecks them so they are good boys and eats their seeds with so much mannerism.
Edit: I am loving that orchestra so much.
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed the Handel organ concerto!
What an amazing array of God's creatures. I love all animals, but I especially love birds. And this is so different than the birds we get at our feeder here in Wisconsin. I was hoping to hear the call of the Kookaburra. Amazing how close you were and that you were able to touch the Kookaburra! I love how the Kookaburra is unphased by the parrots. Lovely video!
Me too! Since I was saved just over 4 years ago I just love the Lord's birds and His creatures! It's like my whole life up until then I was seeing things in black and white and after I was saved I saw things in colour for the first time. The more I walk with the Lord the more I hate man made stuff and the more I love creation. It is all clothed in beauty for His glory. I love how God has perfectly made every creature by His infinite wisdom not only fit for its purpose with all the physical attributes and skills it needed but they are beautiful too. You can see His love and mercies and He teaches me so much through His creation. Oh He is so beautiful and so are His creatures who have suffered so much from mankind's rebellion and sin. God bless you dear friend. The kookaburras are so funny because they sound like they laugh and the parrots are rainbow lorikeets. We get the lorikeets where we live in western Victoria Australia. We also get eastern and crimson rosellas which are just gorgeous. The rosellas chuckle to each other like a squeeky toy. Australia has some beautiful creatures. God has given each continent such unique and awesome creatures and habitats. I'm not big on technology but I'm so grateful I can see all His creatures from all around the world which I wouldn't get the blessing of seeing otherwise.
That Kookaburra looks so damn dignified, especially compared to the rest of the horde, and with that music in the background. ^_^
Man I love how the kookaburra is literally just existing there as if it is his territory and occasionally pecks at the other birbs to shoo them away, and how alarmed the remaining 2 parrots looked up when the kookaburra turned his head in 3:47, all of that, all the birds, they are so cute man
The poor Kookaburra just wants to be left alone... and the parrots are swarming him left and right...
I love this! We had Kookaburras zoom in at pretty-much precisely the same time every day 😂 They must be the smartest birds ever, REALLY!
I showed this to my australian budgie. He loved it😊
I always felt fascinated whenever I see videos related to nature, I grew up living in a city but my heart is dedicated to this kind of scenery
Kookaburra is the cutest one
You live in paradise even if you don’t think so. If I ever had those birds around I’d go nuts! They are beautiful.
You're right, it is paradise and I enjoy these beautiful creatures every day!
Loris eat seeds and fruit whereas Kookas are meat eaters - that is why they don't mind each other
Very cool. We fed the lorikeets and Cockies at our place until the nazis at the body corporate made us stop.
Corey Burt What a bugger! What have the nazis got against native birds?
Corey Burt What-how in heck can they keep the birds away from what ever is found by the birds. Is the "Body Corporate" managers of where you live?
Whereas I said TEN! :)
+Richard Warland no seed is not good for them just nucture
That kookaburra is my spirit animal. 😂
Meanwhile, my neighbours are complaining about 3 birds that visit my backyard everyday. Yes, 3 damn birds...
Such an easy solution for your neighbor..Pack up and move.
My God, I do hope you can find a place with no nasty neighbours! 🤗🦉
Kooka be like, "These Lories... I _guess_ I tolerate them..." 🤣
Vu la taille du bec du kookabura : fo pas l'embêter.
You have amazing birds. Nice colors! Nice country!
Hi from France!
