In this Video we present an overview of Australia's wild Cockatoos. The large Black cockies with Yellow, Red and White Tails then the White cockatoos with blue eye rings and yellow crests. My favourite is the Gang-gangwith the red fimbriated crest. The Cockatiel is absent but presented in a separate video
Do I understand why this video got recommended to me? No. Did I enjoy it? Strangely *yes* ?
This is why I'm happy to be an Aussie bird whisperer...
So grateful that you made and uploaded this video! I have had a love affair with birds since I was a teenager and met my first parrot - a Lilac Crowned Amazon. In 2005 I was in heaven visiting Australia. I watched a massice flock of sulfur crested cockatoos fly over a hill near Sydney and land en masse in my cousin's lemon tree. It was so awesome to see the tree seeming to explode into flowers. The noise was deafening though! While in Oz I fell in love with Gang Gang cockatoos and black palm cockatoos, but also with Kookaburras and Tawny Frogmouths. During a picnic lunch at Ku Ring Gai Chase National Park we were joined by no lress than NINE Kookaburras, including one juvenile who landed on the arm of my lawn chair and stayed for almost half an hour! I could happily live out my days in that country, surrounded by flocks of lorikeets and cockatoos - even fruit bats!
Where do you hale from? What are the birds like there? If you are ever in Singapore, go to the bird park, while birds in cages are sometimes a shame, they have a unique collection. While in WA some years ago, I took a little trip into the bush and saw a parrot not seen since 1956. I took a bunch of pics, showed them to my brother who is a bit of an expert, he showed them to some friends, it was agreed to tell no one because it may have resulted in unethical people disturbing them, they are already deemed extinct. We bought a large piece of land and have created a Trust, hopefully their habitat is secure.

So cool
Your voice so sweet....... Better than all parots.
Gang gang cockatoos are my favorite type of birds as well. It's one of the biggest dreams for me to visit Australia
Come on down always great to have bird lovers come visit
Thank you for the video, I love my Cockatoo's. My Dad hit a Sulphur Crested cockatoo with his car in 1968 when I was 6 years old, he died in 2019. After he got better from his broken wing he never left. His wings were never clipped and he was good at flying and would spend all day in the gum tree in the back yard till it got dark and it was bed time. He was part of the local flock who would move in when no food was found in the wild, because I would feed them. For 9 years he would not come home at night because he had a nesting box in the tree and a female friend. he has passed away, but 5 of his young have moved in. A good cockatoo is never a pet, but is a family member and is full of love.
I was a bit confused at first as to who did the dying, in 2019, your dad or the bird. I assume the bird. My husband's family have a sulphur crested. He was gotten from the wild in the late sixties and is still alive. They live so long! Felix has a 'smoker's cough' he picked up from my FIL who's been dead since the 80s...forty years later the bird is still hacking away from time to time 😆 Good ol' Felix! He's particular about people too. He decides right away if he like your or not.
@@amandastakeonit7402 the bird died in November 2019, I think it was the birds age with the smoke from the fires, my father died in september 2019 after been real sick for many years. shit year for me
Das ist die richtige Einstellung!👍 Alles Liebe und Gute für die liebe Frau.So möchte man am Lebensende auch behandelt werden.Hatte Lungenkrebs, und jetzt eine chronische COPD.❤️🍀🤗
All the best.
My favourite is the Major Mitchell's Cockatoo. I love the vibrant colour of their crests and the soft pink colours on their body. I would love to have a pair as pets in a large aviary one day.
Hope U are cashed up m8 they are truly expensive birds if U can find any for sale at all.
@@seanbayley7452 yes. I am a millionaire (not :(). I'll have to dye a couple of chickens pink and stick some long feathers on their heads to pretend they are the cockatoos.
@@jase123111 😂 that's bout as close as U would come to owning a major Mitchell myself,any idea how much they go for in Australia and overseas?
@@seanbayley7452 just had quick look. Seem to be about £7.000 a pair in UK.
@@jase123111 thats not as much as i thought really specialy for a pair thats bout 15-16 thousand aussie dollars i think or probably more though its still a fair bit for a bird.
Thia video is so reqardinf. I had wanted to visit australia just to see these scenes. I am too old now . This is a good replacement. Thank u so much
Thanks for the presentation. My birds liked it as well.
So glad that I came across your channel ❤ Not only is it educational but it’s highly enjoyable ❤
Thanks appreciated.
My favourite is also the Gang Gang, they are so delightful, social, friendly and intelligent
I feel like this is the video Australian children are forced to watch on rainy days instead of having recess, but it is SUCH a treat! thanks for all your hard work!
Ha
The sulphur crested cuckatoos who come to our yard are very cheeky. I once gave them food, dry biscuits and was doing gardening when they all sat on the railings above me and dropped crumbs on my head as they were eating. I get the feeling it was intentional.
Wonderful video, thank you!! I’m lucky to live in Boronia surrounded by Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, Galahs, both types of Corella. Sulphur Crested Cockatoos have very loud voice, come to my backyard every day. Hello from Melbourne🇦🇺
Beautiful video and a lovely narration, thank you for sharing your passion!
Great pictures from the wild which have given me a better understanding of why they're often so unhappy in captivity. Also, I really appreciate your explanations, thank you!
Thanks ak
Found one. They, like all the animals in captivity that are unhappy, are not unhappy because explicitly they are captive. It's because people take large birds like these and keep them in small canary cages their whole life where they hardly have room to move in their own filth with the wrong food and left alone. Yes same with other animals like cats & dogs that yes have been domesticated for thousands of years and don't really belong in nature they get abused and not properly taken care of that's not a captivity problem per-say; it's a human problem that everything we touch has to go to hell as we are a blight, a mistake, and against natural order. Well... Nature always wins; the most ironic part is "mother nature" will win by default as we've proven throughout our entire history we will be our own undoing.
That was amazing, thank you so much for sharing that, I love all the cockatoos they have such big personalities and are so beautiful
Thanks
I would love to see Australia. So many places yet to be seen.
I feel the same and yet I live here.
I watched this with my galah, he enjoyed it.
beautiful looks cute bird
Thank you
The red tailed black cockatoo is my favorite bird but sadly around my place they are slowly disappearing. Good video.
so much of nature is daily; it breaks my heart
🥲
An AWESOME video in the way of tuition and explanation of these BEAUTIFUL creatures
Cheers
Thank you ! This is beautiful and I learnt stuff. Respect from Victoria Australia. edit: will be coming back to just watch again many times.
Thank you for making these wonderful videos! I absolutely love Australian wildlife, particularly your birds.
Saw some breeds of 'too I'd never known before, specifically, all the black 'toos (other than the palm variety, which I've seen since childhood) Very "nourishing" content. Thank you.
❤ What a gorgeously made video, please continue with your great job and make more videos to get to more and more people. The narrative and voice, the information, videoing and music are all spectacular ❤
TY
Im Australian and i love birds like cockatoos
Please more more more on cockatoos of Australia. I Love to see them wild and free
Same the way nature intended
What a fabulous video, thank you! I love Gang gangs too, they used to visit our house in Kilmore, Vic. I have learnt so much about other wonderful birds through this video too, much appreciated!
Absolutely brilliant thank you so much for creating and sharing! ❤🌏🙏🏼
Thanks so much. I always wondered why my Goffins dig up my plants. I learned something and also really enjoyed the Leadbeaters . . . which I absolutely fell in love with when visiting Australia years and years ago.
Gang Gang cockatoos are a rare breed I've only seen them once in the wild on the south coast of NSW at Broulee just south of Batemans Bay about 25 years ago. I hope they are still ok? What a fantastic site it was just pfft wild Gang Gangs just perfect!
Plenty in Canberra!
Another great video on birds of Australia. Thank you. Beautiful.
Woo !!! Thankyou for doing this clip Your voice keeps people listening, so well done and how nice there not locked in pens Thanks mate
Every time I've heard a funeral cockatoo, it's been followed by a change in the weather, and I always hear them before I see them: those long, keening _"Krrrreeeeaaaaaahhhh..."_ calls. Beautiful birds.
Interesting - thanks for the comment.
And this is the reason...... I love Australia
TY
Any Cockatoo that lives in the piliga must be Faf boy because if the Yowies get hold them it's Cocky for Brecky. Like a fast food for the big guys. TBH these birds are awesome. They are a very vital part of our outback farmers despise them due to crop damage these birds can wipe out a crop of many different types of seed grown plants. And they go to extremes to combat the problem. Let's hope that a reasonable plan can enable both bird and farmers get what they Want and need. Thank you for this insight into our rugged bush birds. That are very clever and can be extremely cunning. Cheers
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together and the narration. Great footage and knowledgeable commentary. When you talk about cockatoos chewing into branches for larvae @6:10. I have a really great video of a male yellow tail pulling a grub out of an acacia in my backyard. I can forward it to you if you'd like, you could add it to this video.
Look at how little the wings of the babies are! Such small wings! Stunning birds🦜🌹💧USA
Beautiful video beautiful birds ❣️
👍
Fantastic video,thanks!
So beautiful video thanks
This is an incredible video, thank you so much for sharing it!
I rode my push bike across the continent from Sydney to W.A. Then from the top end to Sydney via Adelaide great ocean rode Melbourne finally the south coast. As a person who absolutely loves AU parrots. On a push bike you can sneak up on so much wildlife. My favourite bird most likely the crimson rosella. Never got up to Cape York to see the palm cockatoo. Plenty of galahs in Tassie. A very very good video with nice back ground music.
That's awesome,how long did it take to do the Perth to Sydney leg or whatever way U did it ie Sydney to Perth.
Thank you for making this video!
I see I've found my flock. 'Sup, guys.
amazing video. professional work. should be on national geographic.
This is better than NG by far
Wow amazing birds thank you for your video 😍
Wow, what a beautiful video. With so much problems in the world right now, it's such a relief to 'tune out' and 'escape' whilst watching this. PS- I'm Aussie and pretty obsessed with black cockatoos. I've seen every Australian Cockatoo in the wild except for the Glossy Black
Very nice video. Perfect background music.
Beautiful video and footage

Thank you
❤ Nice! Thanks
I live in the South East of South Australia or now known as the Limestone Coast of South Australia and it is not uncommon to see mixed flocks of Galahs and Corellas or Short and Long Billed Corellas together. At times when travelling over the border in Western Victoria I have seen mixed flocks of Corellas and Sulphur Crested Cockatoos. In my travels within 100 km radius of Mt. Gambier I have seen the Gang Gang Cockatoo and the Red Tailed Black Cockatoo only in the Lower Glenelg National Park at Princess Margaret Rose Caves. Flocks of Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos occasionally fly over Mt.Gambier and Galahs and Corellas are sometimes seen eating the roots of grass on the city reserves and sports fields or roosting on power lines or tall trees. Sulphur Crested Cockatoos can be seen a bit further out from Mt. Gambier.
Wow.. Beutifull 😍😍
This is a brilliant video thank you for making it. I appreciate the use of scientific names. I believe the Major Mitchell cockatoo at 9:48 is actually eating larvae in a wattle flower gall not the seed pod as the appear to big and round. Thanks again
Must admit it does look rather juicy

Nice..❤❤❤
Beautiful

hey man, nice video man
Beautiful in the wild, not in a cage.
Agree the way nature intended it's almost evil to take a creature that has literally the whole sky to roam around the put it in a small prison
@@seanbayley7452Or worse, to clip their wings... 🥺
❤👌💫

Lindo demais parabens. Grande abraço Brasil
nice
My cockatiel is always happy and singing and also loves to dance. Watching my bird videos makes my pet birds and other animals happy. 🦜💚🧡
🧡❤
It’s interesting to see the variations in the Indonesian archipelago
We have a big flock of little corallas living in Nowra, in the town it self and the birds love to eat the traffic lights
People have taken our birds all over the world
So some of them eat onion grass bulbs? So I guess onions are not toxic to that species or is it true for all parrots?
No mollucans? 🙁
"Cockatoos of *Australia*"
സൊ ക്യൂട്ട് 🥰

What species of eucalyptus do Sulphur crests like?
Many but I have never seen them on bloodwoods or Angophora
