    Gorgeous male and female king parrots visit with 2 of their babies.
    And a chicken comes to say hi as well and try to eat my toes!
    If you would like to support Australian wildlife and the production of future videos you can buy me a $1 coffee here: www.buymeacoffee.com/bboa
    50% of the funds will be donated to various wildlife charities and the other 50% will go towards production costs of future videos allowing me to create higher quality videos showcasing a wider range of Australian animals.
    Please check with your local wildlife experts before offering any food to the native wildlife in your area. What I offer these birds is an occasional treat and only a tiny portion of their overall diet.

      @@FredTheLutinoCocatiel Wrong. Their distinguishing characteristics, green or orange, called sexual dimorphism is determined by evolution through natural selection. Most bird species have vastly different colours and the male with the brightest colours (to a bird’s vision) gets to mate ahead of his rivals. Those genes for bright colours then get passed on to the next generation. It happens in mammals too, lions have manes and lionesses do not for example. Given that the hatchlings live in a tree hollow until they fly no predator can see them. Dimorphism is not linked to distracting the predator, if it was then there would be no males left.

      The reasons why male lions have manes is due to testosterone and not evolution.
      A castrated lion will lose its mane , and there are cases of lionesses with manes , and also male lions without manes.
      Thanks for your lesson on evolution - just a shame that your theory is not backed by fact.

    Don't underestimate Chookie. She comes from the great family of dinosaurs. Her ancestors chickened out to survive from the asteroids, but she's still a dinosaur at heart. You can't demand that she shouldn't eat you, you can only request.
    It's kind enough for her not to stomp over your body.

      Oh I love the black cockatoos! We get them in the trees but they don't come as close to me as the other birds.

      Yeah they're fairly shy. They're demolishing the scarab figs up here at the moment.
