I've been to Australia once and loved it there. Going about in the city one could hear lorikeets chattering as they flew by. Though I did not see any wild Sulphur Crested Cockatoos at the local park, I did see a few at a local pet store.
I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Australia! The sound of lorikeets as they fly over is one of the quintessential sounds of Australia, it’s wonderful to have such vibrant birds in our cities!
@@epicbirds2864 Australia is one of my favorite countries to visit and live. Such friendly people and lots of exotic wildlife. One question I often wonder is, it's legal to keep some of the native species as pets, such as the Sulphur Crest, Galahs, and Rosellas (just to name a few) but it's illegal to take them from the wild. Yet, locals do keep and sell them on the classifieds. So, how would the authority know if a bird is legally obtained or simply taken from one's backyard? I know the Sulphur Crest is a very friendly bird and often come to peoples houses to feed and many are so "tame" that can be petted handled. Thus, what would stop anyone from taking one in and keep it?
That’s an interesting question! As far as I know it’s illegal to capture a wild bird and keep it as a pet without a relevant licence and most would not adapt well as a ‘pet’ anyway unless they were very much used to being around people. But native cockatoos/parrots/finches are certainly kept as pets here and are usually purchased from other bird keepers/breeders. Cockatoos are particularly popular as they are highly intelligent and live for 50-100 years depending on the species.
I'm rather astonished that the Gang-gang wasn't included. This sort of list is subjective and just made for fun, of course. My #1 would be the Gang-gang. For the past 25 years, they've been turning up every summer (give or take a few weeks at either end). They visit our garden to drink from the birdbaths. Gang-gangs are an absolute delight.
Wow you’re very lucky to have them in your garden, that must be incredible! They are stunning birds, but unfortunately I don’t have any video of them - that’s the only reason they’re not on my list here, otherwise they would be very close to the top :)
Any parrot with a crest is considered a Cockatoo. I never knew that myself until now, I had to look it up. Never would have considered a Cockatiel a cockatoo tho. 68 and still learning..😅

Very nice video
Thank you very much, your kind words are greatly appreciated!
nice Video!
A cockatiel is not a cockatoo. They are their own genus.
