There are certainly some beautiful birds there as well as some unusual ones. Have you seen all of these yourself?

All except for the King Parrot which only lives on the east coast, I never spent much time on the east coast, too built up and suburban. And of course I've seen many different species that don't feature in these videos.

One day I watched a flock of Sulphur Crested Cockatoos sitting on a power line on a country dirt road, just a single line between the poles. One bird did a summersalt on the line and his neighbour got angry and told him off for it. There was a little bit of an argument then all of them started doing it in perfect synchrony, that powerline started whipping around and around like a child's skipping rope. I was amazed that it didn't come down.

Sulphur Cresteds are the clowns of the bird world.
