2 kookaburras and a magpie hang out inside while 2 more kookaburras patiently wait outside. Getting the kookaburras back outside is a struggle!
Please excuse the fact that I had a cough when I filmed this video so when I laugh it just turns into a cough 😅
Please note that I have changed what I feed the birds since filming this video. For more information visit www.brisbanebirdvet.com.au/bi... or contact your local avian experts.
These are wild birds that have much higher energy demands than captive birds and what I offer them as an occasional treat is only a tiny portion of their diet.

I never thought I'd see a Disney princess with an Australian accent, but here we are.
😊❤
@@BackyardBirdsofAustralia
So unfortunately I can't actually imagine stuff visually in my mind, but I now have this concept of a cross between Jane from Tarzan (at the end of the film) and Steve Irwin, calmly playing around with things like blue-ringed octopuses that eat from her hand.
The most Australian Disney princess ever.
Snow White. And her 7 Kookaburras...
@@flingage ahh so I find somebody who also has aphantasia
@@co9681 guilty as charged
"How do I stand up with a kookaburra on me?"
Surely, a question everyone toils with at some point in their life!
Haha there have actually been many times when I've given up and tried to stand up and they just try to run up my leg to stay on. It's quite cute!
😂👍
I lie awake night after night worrying about that very thing😁
That's basically the Australian version of a cat on your lap.
It's the same for me but with a cat.
At the end they look like all the neighborhood children lining up at someone's house for a popsicle or something :) So cute
Hehe they really do!
I know it was the most adorable thing !!!
Like crackheads waiting for their dealer
❤❤
Thank you for not adding cheesy music to your video. Hearing these lovely birds speak for themselves provides the most uplifting, healing song.
D. I. T. T. O.!!!!! 👏👍
EXACTLY !!😁
It's part of why I don't watch compilations either.
I agree. Love hearing them sing.
Agreed. That upbeat ukulele & xylophone music haunts my soul.
I can't even imagine living there in a house like that, surrounded with so much nature and tons of loveable birds. I feel like it's quite literally paradise.
😊❤
I can’t imagine living where there are *adorable* meat-eating birds and *big-ass* spiders that can bite through your boots 😖😖😖
It’s all paradise until a neighbour brings a wandering cat into suburbia bush land! Cats should be banned or kept in-house in bush areas.
@@janellehoney-badger6525
Cats should be kept inside anyways (unless the owners have one of those cat porches or whatever that are like zoo enclosures, where the cat(s) can go outside and enjoy the sun and fresh air, but they're meshed in like a big cat would be).
Because not only are outdoor cats a risk to local wildlife, but the outdoors is a risk to them 😔
@@sadrabbit53 I built a Cat room for my cat. Turns out she is a horrible fighter. I tried to do the 'let's let her be free' thing during the day and bring her in at night for dinner. A $400.00 vet bill, later, brought an end to her freedom. She got her ass kicked, really bad. She is too young to be left in the house unattended. Tears things up. So, I built her a room, just for her. She has limited access inside and a nice area outside. At 8 feet in height, she can climb all she wants. I plan on adding a tunnel as the outer part is next to a wooden fence. Saw some pictures of a tunnel along the top of a wooden fence, looked really nice. Eventually, maybe a second room at the other end of the tunnel. She loves her room and won't come in unless she is ready to come in. It was the best compromise that allows us to co-exist. Oh, and when she was 'free' she also thought it was big fun to climb onto the porch roof and then scream for us to climb up and get her down. That got old real fast.
gonna have to change the channel name to Living Room Birds of Australia
Haha I love that!
Australia has a reputation of "land of the deadly animals" - snakes, spiders, sharks... and obviously also very friendly birds. Pretty amazing!
Don't upset the magpie... they will attack. Be nice to the magpie... they will remember you always.
Absolutely agree. I've never been swooped, and have always been kind to maggies. They are the best bird. @@dashamanstevo5326
Animals all over the world will kill you, we just have a higher concentration of them, for a much smaller population than the world is readily able to understand. Australia has very few people, compared to most other countries, for the land mass that we consume. In case people forget, Australia is the same size as the USA, but we have around less than 10% of their population. So there is also many things that will kill you in the USA, (like mass gun killings) but you will likely not hear about it. So. Come to Australia, we want to welcome you, and you will not be eaten by a shark or spider or kangaroo unless you are a stupid tourist. And that is avoidable. You will be welcome, just be kind, and particularly aware that we have some ferocious ocean currents. Swim between the flags to stay alive.
Magpies only attack during nesting period when they feel their nest is being threatened
not friendly
just submissive to an apex predator like a terran
I like how the magpie just follows you around the whole time. What a good bird!
dog :)
A female magpie has been visiting me for two years. She either taps on my screen door or sings a little song to announce her arrival. She sits next to me, outside on a bench. I hand feed her sliced tasty cheese. Once I offered her a meat pie, thinking she’d go for the meat. Nope. She only ate crust from the top. Not even pastry. She brightens my day.
Adorable! I highly recommend this booklet when it comes to feeding birds www.wombaroo.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Wombaroo-Bird-Booklet.pdf
@@BackyardBirdsofAustralia just had a quick look at thee book. Awesome. Thank you heaps.
I'd strongly discourage feeding animals human food, ESPECIALLY dairy (i.e. cheese) and ESPECIALLY to birds - the preservatives, added sugars, salt, alien proteins and lack of the necessary nutritional elements might have a number of negative effects on their own health and that of their prospective babies.
Also, the fact that an animal LIKES a certain food, is no indicator it's good for them. It might be like junk food is for us, or even be a poison. You know, like in dogs and chocolate for example.
@@OstblockLatina I think that is why she shared the booklet.
@@OstblockLatina most people wouldn't know what was in that booklet. Your comment makes some very valid points.
I'm not implying that the lady in the video did this. But its important to be aware of:
So many people (in the forests where i live), feed maggies & kookas mince meat. Which is a huge problem because it's got bugger all minerals and nutrition in it.
The adults commonly regurgitate it back to their young chicks that grow up with undeveloped bones and wings from lack of minerals in their diet.
Look up MBD. It's not pretty dealing with it in real life trust me, the young birds have to be euthanized.
That row of evenly spaced kookaburras sitting on the bench - so aesthetically satisfying ^_^
Yeah I love the photo of them all there 😊❤ thanks!
@@BackyardBirdsofAustralia they could b a family of kookas!
I once rubbed the belly of a Kookaburra sitting on my fence. BEST. FEELING. EVER.
This has to be the most adorable home invasion ever
That one all floofed up on their 'perch'. You can tell he's right at home.
Yeah one of them now just flies in right past me without warning as soon as I open up my door 😅
I'll have to get a video of it soon.
@@BackyardBirdsofAustralia The bird knows which side his bread is buttered.
Magpie is waiting patiently while the kookas stealing food by playing cute 😂
Haha the magpie knows it can come back later once the kookaburras are gone
There’s something about the Magpie’s walk. He’s owning it and no one can tell him anything ⭐️
It’s all fun and games til they dive bomb you.
lol so true!!
In the states we have cats, dogs, rabbits, and squirrels. You Aussies are blessed to have cocktoos, kookaburras, and other fun friends.
Don’t forget pigeons! They get such a bad rap for overrunning cities, but they are very intelligent (messenger pigeons during time of war have turned tides and won medals of honor) and they’re loving birds as pets.
They cause a fucking racket though.
@@alZiiHardstylez better than the crap ghetto areas cause... Rather hear noisy birds, than idiots playing their music in the cars so loud it causes houses to vibrate, random shootings, and other BS the ghetto brings.
Thankfully I live outside that garbage. Only have to deal one idiot who plays his music too loud in his car when he comes home and a stupid dog next door who won't stop barking at night.
Would love to have chatty birds over that crap above any day.
America also has red cardinals and bluejays, less cats hunting and damaging the native wildlife the more they will be
We also have dropbears, and 90% of the venomous creatures on the planet, they aren't all fun friends :P :D
Psychologists claim, in a new study, that birds make people happier than money!
Oh yes, yes, yes.
Agree 100%
But do they make them happier than shoes? That's the REAL question.
@@elizabethblackwell6242 I would give up my shoes to have them around 😉
They absolutely make me happier than money
This is worst than i thought,they already have a base of operation.
•-•
Haha. That last one is always particularly smart/stubborn when it comes to going outside and I haven't even gotten around to filming just how much. I honestly think I'll need to buy a GoPro just so I can film it flying onto my arm, us walking to the door, then it flying straight past me back inside as soon as it realises we've just walked out the door.
@@BackyardBirdsofAustralia Cool UwU
@@BackyardBirdsofAustralia LMAO Literally how sneaky I was with my mom as a kid
You are bird whisperer
"If I fly inside, and refuse to come out, I'll get a few extra treats eventually" :D Clever bird
After hearing all the chirps it’s hard to believe that there were only 3 birds in the house.
Me: "Come on guys"
Them: "Nah, good here thanks"
Certainly a little too comfortable inside!
God I love the straight on angle of kookaburras, they're just so ( ) round
Yeah little fluff balls 😊
It’s the big beak weapon that does it, so sweet.
Keeping up with The Kookaburras!
Now that's a show!
Haha love it!
Having natural birds come into your home is the absolute best house, I think. The birds understand that the people who live there love them. I'm so jealous.👍
And this is how the revolution begins my Kookaburra friends.
First, we train the human to feed us on a regular basis while all the time allowing her to think she is training us.
Then slowly but surely we will become more difficult to extract from her home.
This of course will be played off as cuteness instead of the cunning takeover we all know it to be.
Day by day will shall multiply. Some will stay outside. Others will dive in the pool. Everything will seem innocent and without purpose.
Until finally, the day will come, where her house shall become ours.
Muhaha. I mean, cute growling sound. Ahem.
Meanwhile...
The undercover Magpie keeps a watchful eye, feigning nonchalance but occasionally displaying it's frightening skills to catch some food.
Hahaha I loved reading that! The magpie sometimes just goes and tries to open up the food itself if I'm too focused on the kookaburras 😅
@@BackyardBirdsofAustralia Glad you enjoyed it. It's nice to be able to give something back in return for your uplifting videos :D
So cute and yet funny 😄 love ❤️ it.
I'm watching this video with my morning coffee here in Indianapolis, US. It's seriously calming, and helps me start my day off right. It's amazing how someone being kind to birds on the other side of the world can help improve my mood.
Hi! Oh wow that's so nice to hear and really means a lot to me. Sending love from Australia ❤
@@BackyardBirdsofAustralia cheers, I appreciate it! I hope to visit your wonderful country once things get back to "normal."
@@BackyardBirdsofAustralia can I ask what you feed them!? So nice to have these great birds come to you! I feed. My visitors come to the backyard mostly mince but they never venture inside ! not that I would mind! Cheers!
@@joannemurdock7899 Hi! I mostly feed them cut up chicken hearts mixed up with Wombaroo Insectivore but this booklet has excellent guidelines www.wombaroo.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Wombaroo-Bird-Booklet.pdf
I highly recommend getting some Wombaroo Insectivore, you can buy it at a pet store or online. It's packed with nutrients and the birds love it!
Yes!
I love the magpie, follows around like a loyal pup but keeps a cautious distance.
The kookaburras are so cute but magpie really loves you. He’s so patient! I think you’re his best friend 🙂
I'm obsessed with Kookaburras. Besides owls, they're one of my favorites now haha
I love them so much!
I think I’m MORE obsessed! Kookas & Magpies. I drop everything I’m doing (even when I have visitors) to feed & spend time with them😆
Watch the video with David Attemborough and the bird of paradise. Its really cute. "David Attemborough gets interrupted by the bird of paradise"
you mean "hahahahahahaahaaHOOHOOHOOHOOHOOHOOHOOHOOhahahahahahahaha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa", which is kookaburra for 'gidday!'
let me intro you to tawnyfrgomouths. YOURE WELCOME VVVVVV
IM NOT AUSTRALIAN but they are all some very nice bodsv
It's a bit like telling people they can still get beer served outside when the pub's closing.
I hereby declare you as a Disney Princess.
Awww you're sweet ❤
You’re outnumbered! 😅 I love how one made himself at home on the pull-up bar, the dipping bar, just anything else with bars is fair game. He was like “no thanks, I’m quite comfortable here thanks” xD
The 4 kookaburras waiting outside was so funny... Hope you get better soon.
Thanks!!
It's crazy to see these birds feel reluctant to move out of the house 😅 exactly how sometimes insects don't wanna leave my house 😂
It's so nice of those birds to adopt that stray human.
I have one kookaburra that lands on my knee and takes food. 6 Kookas come into the yard and vie for the food and I love every minute of time spent with them..
Just waiting for the deer & rabbits to wander through to confirm your disney princess status at this point :)
Bandicoots and Wallabies for an Aussie Princess ;)
Aww you guys are sweet ❤ personally I think kangaroos would be the best candidate. I actually used to live a 5 minute walk from where a family of 15-20 lived.
There are so many rabbits running around here but they're a pest animal and the kookaburras might try to eat the small ones...that would probably ruin the moment 😅
@Claire Skey This is a pretty bad video of one but...ruclips.net/video/MPLZgoRVp2Q/видео.html
From Tucson Arizona- made a bird garden here. Visited by quail, thrashers, woodpeckers, doves, hawks, etc every morning. The roadrunners are particularly friendly. Like your kookaburra.
Sounds awesome! Sending love from Australia!
No wil e coyote in Tucson i hope! meek! meek! 😊.
They say Australia is the "Land of NOPE." There's the insects, the spiders, the crocodiles, and the cute birds that commit home invasion and refuse to leave.
These are my two favourite birds to wake up to the sound of.
This women is stronger than a Disney princess doesn't even have to sing.
Disney is gonna make movie on her alright.
😊❤
Smart birds, they even speak English. And I love the attitude! "Do you want to come out?" Clearly the answer is a resounding "NO!" Very sweet.
When I was in Australia for studying English, my teacher taught me the Kookaburra song but I didn't know what she looked like at that time. Now I get to know that she is super cute... ❤
I'm surprised you survived this encounter with dangerous australian predators
I would not have been able to resist petting them
Love how the one on the small table just stands there and stares, like "I m cute - and I know it!"
As a Brit you can keep everything that bites or stings. That said you do have some amazing wildlife. I’d die for one of these amazing birds perched on my hand for a few minutes. They are adorable 😍
Simon but you would have birds In England! ??
Maybe you great grandfather should've commited crimes instead
That magpie looks just like a similar bird we have in the Boundry Waters of Minnesota (border between US and Canada) we would hold out food and they would fly right to us and take it right out of our hands!
I'm warning you, one day you'll go out to do the shopping and come home to find the locks changed. 😲
🤣
It could very well happen, too.
Lucky they’re not cockatoos or the site that beholds the home owner after a holiday, is a ransacked home, akin to a wild party!! You won’t want to learn that lesson again!
Ну реально вполне...эти Кукабарры и Магпие любят хозяйку ОЧЕНЬ !
Thanks!
@@BackyardBirdsofAustralia you are being very polite and kind to me :) ....bonus to Australia
Fireplace..check! Piano…check! Workout equipment check. Bed and couch check check! Pool!! And adorable birds all sitting in a row on my adorable bench a million checks and 👍🏼🇺🇸❤️
Thanks for your lovely comment! 😊❤
It's nice that the birds allow you to live there.
That magpie is adorable the way it follows you around all day. Kookaburras sure are stubborn birds.
If someone were to see this video, knowing nothing else about Australia, they'd think you lived in some sort of magical fairyland. What an absolutely lovely morning. Thank you for sharing.
It is, but we also have dropbears so you gotta watch out for them.
Once animals know who has the good food it's all over lol. So cute though!
Lovely lass that shares her care and compassion.... Happy days
You're going to have a kookaburra chorus line, not just a quartet, soon.
Hehe the more cute fluff balls the better!
I am so jealous of this woman for being so well loved by these birds.
My niece thinks you're a real-life Disney Princess. I don't have it in me to say otherwise.🤣
Aww that's so sweet! 💖
0:55 - Lol, that Kookaburra is like "What you looking at?" 😂😂
I'm from Ireland and I remember being on a balcony looking out and I turned to my left and saw a kookaburra really close to me just chillin'. I gave him ham, we made friends lol. You never get that in Ireland. My Dad is Australian and the sound of a kookaburra is really nostalgic for me.
You know, I really do find it pretty awesome that so many of the birds around there trust you enough to just lay about your house and hang all around you.
That trust goes FAR.
I dont have blue winged kookas here, but we have normal ones - laughing kookaburras.
They sit so adorably well.
Can someone explain to me where this woman lives where she can afford a gorgeous backyard garden/pool AND have a home gym with birb friends visiting her every morning!??
Quality of life for this city must be off the charts 💯
Brisbane Australia
I want to live in Australia so bad,seems like wild animals come and visit you all day
@@user-bz9ox4nd6f yep we see lots of animals, lots of space here.
I was wondering the exact same thing!!
Good for her!
They just want to use the gym
It's 2 am and I rarely comment on any videos. Just never have anything that needs to be said. This time though, I have something today. This video was so wholesome and charming. I am from the US but moved to Australia and this video made me smile and giggle at your silly birds. I have magpies that come visit and they have even jumped into my house, haha! I never understood people's fear of them because they are so sweet and so intelligent. And yes, they are actually polite! Sometimes the younger ones go through an unruly stage, but you just show them that that behaviour is not acceptable in the clan and show them that you care about them. They bring their babies to you and it's so fun watching the little ones get brave enough to take a sunflower seed from your hand. And unlike cockatoos, they don't fight as much over food, they often share, taking turns next to the bowl. I apologize if I kinda ranted, I just love birds so much and they are so entertaining when you observe and engage with them. I feel like you do too, and this video has so much joy and love in it. Thank you for sharing, it brightened my day.
Aww thanks for commenting! Yeah they're amazing 😊❤
_"Out of food? I'll take a finger then!"_ 🤣
Being adorable is an evolutionary survival mechanism.
Kookaburras are such chilled out birds.
They used to all sit on my clothes line and watch me mow the lawn. 🙂🇦🇺
They're gorgeous. It must've taken you ages to have formed such a bond with these beautiful birds!
Oz has by far the most hilarious birds.
Ah, yes, Australia. Where "The Birds" is just everyday life.
Господи, какая прелесть! Когда человек живет в единении с природой - это так здорово.
I never realized how big the kookaburras actually are, I used to think they were smaller. 😳 But then again, I never saw them sitting on someone's lap to beg for food. 😆
Если поеду в Австралию, то пераым делом буду наслаждаться кукабаррами... Они такие забавные, но вместе с тем умные птички. 😊
I like how they share their pet human... because as all bird people know, you're theirs, not the other way around.
02:48 lovely smile :) amazing how comfy they are inside your house ! Greetings from Slovakia
They really are adorable. Sending love from Australia!
Love this. I first saw a Kookaburra a few years ago when visiting my sister, who moved from the UK to Australia.
I was convinced they were flying Teddy bears as they looked furry from a distance. I fell in love with them.
Thanks for your video
Thank you!
Australian birds are simply the best birds no substitute ❤️
Lucky to live near the forest with many trees. Trees are our good brothers.
Куккабара- это внешне абсолютно плюшевое существо, которое хочется обнять и защитить😅😅😅
They do look really hugable
I just love having birds visit. This week I had 2 kookas, a pair of crested-notch pigeons, a pair of lorikeets & some butcher birds, all at the same time, it was amazing. Although I didn’t have food for each type, they hung around anyway. I suspect others feed them too.
I love the kookas even though I know all too well, they caught & ate the 3x big skinks I had tamed over the previous months. Who’d believe you could train garden skinks to take food?! I thought they were well protected but kookas are extremely patient.
Animals are way smarter & more caring than we’re aware of.
I love kookaburras. ❤
What a pack of bludgers! Sooo lovable.
It's great that you have a limit for the birds, so they know they can get something from you, but they also know that they need to continue their rounds. Great vid! Newly subscribed!
Amazing thank you so much!! 💖
What a line up The Magpie is so accepting ..Guess word has got round about the comforts and menu of your place plus it's a safe haven ..Lovely to watch.Wishing you and the birds a great weekend :) 👍🌟🌻
Thanks so much! I hope you have a great weekend too 😊❤
Представляю: просыпаешься, открываешь глаза, а перед тобой: 0:55 😁
With enough snakcels, I'm sure Borb level can be achieved.
Imagine starting the day like this everyday, happiness all around. Id feed the hell out them though lol
I've been wondering where all the Kookas went...now I know why I don't see or hear them very often nowadays.🤣👍🇦🇺
4 Coo-Coos and one Mag-Pie. at least they have friends.
Here I am, an adult man just dreamingly staring at birds being cute. This feels ok.
How brilliant to be able to interact with these marvelous creatures like this. Thanks for posting and cheers.
Thank you 😊❤
In the movie Treasure of the Sierra Madre, which takes place in Mexico, the director John Huston uses a Kookaburra calling in the background of a jungle scene.
Whats making them even cuter is they don't know we seeing them cute
This woman lives like in paradise! Her life looks so fun! :)
The kookie sitting on the stool at about a minute into the video is TOTALLY giving you the " what the hell" face, she's like - I'm right here dopey!... food please!?!?❤❤❤... such beautiful babies.
These birds are something else, very clever and smart 😳 cheers 💪🏼
I love them 😊
they are so fat I love it. Idk why but they are always so chill, I remember them sitting on my clothesline spinning around while my mother hangs up laundry.
Какие интересные и красивые в Австралии сороки!
These guys have real personality. Maybe a trickster sense of humor too.
