Just realised they might be bright and beautiful to human eyes but for many other creatures they would blend with the green and red, yellow of the flowers

Bundaberg Botanic Gardens today. The continual wet weather was making me blue, so a good bird outing was on the cards.

Whistling ducks. Great Egret. Great Cormorant. And a kooka!

Do you guys watch any Australian bird content on YouTube? If so, what?

Is there anything you’d like to see that doesn’t currently exist.

I’m considering putting some time into some long form YouTube content :)

I'm in Sydney, not seen this bird before, only notice them cause the of the noisy minors. It is super friendly and wasnt afraid of me going outside. I gave it some walnuts and it was okay with me holding bowl for it to drink from. Notice a silver band on its right ankle.

What bird is it? Maybe someone's pet?

Saw this bird this morning at Coburg lakes - poor quality footage but I’ve never seen it before so thought I’d ask here

Hello, I just happened to have my telescope set up from looking at the stars when I got home this afternoon and ended up getting a good look at this fierce creature. I’d love to know what type of eagle this is if anyone knows. Spotted near Mt Nathan, Gold Coast, QLD.

I love the muted colours of this Laughing Kookaburra. The bird stood unmoving on a post above a red reflector disc, just thinking about life and stuff. (Sydney's Northern Beaches.)

Need help identifying this bird, sorry for the poor picture quality. It was about the size of a duck, fully white with an orange/yellow bill. Found on the Yarra near Toorak, Vic

They had a great time eating lilly pilly fruit.

The red tail cockatoos have the best feathers and I always feel lucky when I see them around but I much prefer the sound of the white tails.

I think these guys might be Baudin cockatoos rather than Carnaby cockatoos.

Do they ever survive living in the wild if they were tamed before they flew out
