Amazing how many different calls they have it took me years to work out it was the same bird changing it’s calls from season to season then spring they make beautiful calls ❤
There's much more to these birds than most people give them credit for. They're extremely intelligent and very vigilant birds, they may not sound or look pretty, but there's a lot going on upstairs with these birds.
Beautiful birds, we have them daily in our yard ,we feed them along side many magpies and beautiful 🦜 parrots. The sound of these amazing birds 🐦, is music to the ears,especially in a small suburban garden, here in Penrith. What's not to love ❤
It takes a while for them to trust you. This one now flies into the kitchen to eat raw sugar from a dish. They are nervous of any changes. I have not attempted to handle them, they are best left wild as possible.
POV: You're six years old, you've woken up way too early for no reason, the sky is dimly lighting up over the clouds, and this bird is literally sounding off.
I have a wattlebird come to my balcony several times a day asking for a feed. It has become trusting enough to hover near my hand and take the food from my fingers. He probably saw the magpies and currawongs being hand fed and decided to join in. I am trying to figure out if it is a male or female or if there is more than one.
People who can't handle bird sounds such as those of this great bird should move to the city where there's almost no wildlife or use noise cancelling items, already wiped out enough bird and animal habitats for housing in the first place.
What do u mean by the city? The CBD? Because I live in a inner Melbourne suburb and these birds are very common in backyards, not that they bother me just saying
I am currently helping my sister move to Melbourne from Queensland & in her new house, there is a fruit and veg patch behind the back gate which attracts a lot of local bird life. I had never knowingly heard this bird call before. I thought I had spotted the culprit in the bushes over the back fence but there are so many different birdies, it was difficult to identify one. It intrigued me so I had to find out more haha it has such a distinct sound. I originally thought we had moved in next door to Mr Minit or a bank robber 😂 Cutting keys at all hours!
Gosh! Some of the comments here indicate these birds could become an endangered species! They do sound a bit like a chicken but they are certainly less noisy than sulphur crested cockatoos. Great camera work, thanks :)
We are having trouble with them swooping In our back yard my dog won't even go on the grass to pee and I cant hang out my washing or let my boys play without being swooped at...what do I do?
How did you record them, i try to watch them rough the window by opening e blinds or sneeking theough the gap, but they allways fly away ? They are cute birds and are honeyeaters
They seem similar to miners, they learn things, habits, environments quite quickly. We had so many that would come to eat from our patio table. No others would do so. Piping shrikes would come up, but were super skittish. Magpies were a bit more confident, would fight with crows for catfood and birdbath occupancy, but red wattle birds really took the line in terms of confidence of proximity to us human residents.
I love these birds so much, but when they open their mouths to speak, the sound of a devastating car crash comes out of it.
This is hilarious
I've always called it the "rusty gate"
I hear them more than see them. They sound like they are in pain.

The Nickleback of the bird-call world.

That doesn't surprise me since one was pretty attentive to me just then when I was talking to them.
Hard disagree on both fronts. I find their “chooks”. Very charming, and I think they’re beautiful.
Something definitely broke in the matrix for this bird.

they're very pretty but I hear their screams every morning, this gave me flashbacks
Up at 5am right now because of this annoying bird

Thank you for the 5am wake-up call but please observe the DND sign on the door in future
I have a pair in my yard that I've been watching for a year. I bought a big birdbath for them and they love taking multiple dips
Thanks for sharing, I’ve got quite a few around my home, beautiful birds. You helped confirm the identity. Much appreciated.👍😊
AMAZING! Always I listen them but is the first time I see them , Thanks for this wonderful divine opportunitty !! They are so Beautiful and clever!
i rescued one on Christmas Day from heat exhaustion, delightful wee fellow was peeping and beeping in the car

My favourite. The meerkats of the avian world. 😊

The wattle bird that i havsin my home town goes like "CA GAK GAK GAK GAK GAK"
That are dinosaurs. Just like in that Jurassic park, the velociraptor did this same raise neck call.

i always hear these fucken things but never actually see them
Omg I love this, their calls are so cute.
They bounce around like raptors, lol.
This bird makes me have very murderous thoughts
It sounds like a choking chicken lol

They sound like a cross between a cocky and a chook don’t they!
@@jadeyvette My little grandson calls then chicken birds - we have many in the garden I'm pleased to say ☺️
I have loads of these in my garden
How close are you? You look to be very close. I can not get within ten metres of these birds. Very beautiful thankyou.
We are having trouble with them swooping In our back yard my dog won't even go on the grass to pee and I cant hang out my washing or let my boys play without being swooped at...what do I do?
I have these singing away outside right now. They like to shit on my car 😩
Is that honey all over the perch? Don't do that.
How did you get that close without killing it? Such willpower.
good one
Disgustingly sounding bird.
why the hell would you want to kill it?
h Smith
They sit outside your window and scream the house down from 5.30am. That’s why.
@@rocknroll1959film well... People bulldoze the bush and destroy their nests and food sources, so...

I've got pets of these
