I have sent a few people to your channel, my friend -- To watch an interaction that's hard to comprehend -- And they've all said to me that only God knows How you're covered in wild birbs from your head to your toes. It's a miracle of Nature that you are there for them, To feed and pet them and go through the mayhem When those wild things must behave as they do And still understand there's respect between you. For Jim and the Wild Birbs of Birbsville -- Mel 🤗❤️
Almost a roar of munch. It's far to much to ask, and impossible on UA-cam, to capture the munch with a six or eight microphone array glued to the tray. 🎵🎶This acoustic teaser, however, is enough to get the imagination and thoughts flowing.
Is that the famous Bush turkey there visiting? So cool!! You have been transformed into a giant Cockatoo perching and snacking station populated by crackling beaks! 😂❤
🤣10:00, "Hey! I fluffed my head and you didn't offer the tray. This is training, hand it over!" These guys seem well birbhaved today - hungry and busy, perhaps. Their anticipation as you prepare the trays is priceless. I think the opening minute is in the top nine tray refills (cockatoos use base 9: 4 toes x2 plus beak). The especially excited one on your left shoulder had HonkHonk like birbhaviors. He got swapabirbed and unsuccessfully tried to come back disguised as Lizzy. You sound a lot better but still a tad sluggish. More magic medicine needed ❤😄
Thanks again, G, for an egg-cellently descriptive birbiological description. Many a birb was in stealth mode. HurroBirb arrived late and was in fine form. Yep, HonkHonk was there. Another birb tried to copy and had my eyes watering. An air blow got the point across. Another juvenile birb got particularly pesky and over the top. I did a grab-a-birb as done once with SunnyBirb. Instant calming down. The other birbs expressed their opinions and kept eating. Lizzy was getting shovelated left, right, and centre, and some air blows and a shovelate back was needed. Things quietened down and she got a good feed.
Sometimes I wonder if they already know the drill -- 'trick or treat' of the birb world deeply rooted. "Naah, Joey, squeaks were last year. Fluffs are the thing now. Make a mean face!"
I think the "regular stuff" is Avigrain's Blue Parrot Mix. Top tray looks like their Tropo Blue Tropicana Mix. At $90/15kg, he protects the bucket with the regular stuff. It still gets knocked over every once in a while 😆. You can tell these guys like it too, as they seem to forego access to the lower tray and wait for their chance at the top tray. ❤😄 Anticipation during refills is priceless. When the good stuff comes out, they all but out of their feathers!
@@gth042 i bet the "good stuff" has more sunflowers in it, right? $90 for 15kg sounds extremely expensive! In the Melbourne area I pay $52 for 25kg bag of black sunflower seeds. And they go crazy over it!
The good stuff appears to have a few kinds of fruit, nuts, and such. The cockatoos appear to rarely go for fruit other than bananas, but lorikeets, turkeys, and the like seem to enjoy the other fruit bits. For the price, I suspect it's right at the edge of what one could make DIY based on this American's estimates of Aussie pricing. Assuming human food-grade ingredients, of course, along with one's time and floorspace being free. It's expensive, for sure. Australia's shipping fees and regulations still mystify me though. Import duties and likely agricultural product import fees/floggings aside, I could mix and purchase the stuff in North Carolina, US and ship it to Sydney for less cost than A$90/15kg. Sending seeds to another country just sounds like "agro" waiting to happen.

How you're covered in wild birbs from your head to your toes.
It's a miracle of Nature that you are there for them,
To feed and pet them and go through the mayhem
When those wild things must behave as they do
And still understand there's respect between you.

😂 I'd missed that at 10:00, G! Thank you for pointing it out.

What are you feeding them? Wildbird seeds?
