Galahs can live for decades—often 25–40 years in the wild and even longer in captivity. So we might see this pair around our bird bath for quite some time! #Galahs #PinkAndGrey #AustralianWildlife #AussieBirds #Cockatoo #WildParrots

Sulphur-crested cockatoos are super smart – These birds are highly intelligent, can solve puzzles, mimic human speech, and even recognise themselves in mirrors. Better than me in the morning! #cockatoo #birds 🦜 #AussieBirds 🌿 #AustralianWildlife 📸 #BirdsOfAustralia

Not seeing eye-to-eye! 🐦🐦 These two Mynahs look like they’ve had a disagreement—classic bird drama. What do you think they’re arguing about? #Mynah #BirdLife #AussieWildlife #birds

Here's Tufty, our friendly Crested Pigeon. His feathers look mostly grey, but his wings have beautiful iridescent green, purple, and bronze patches when they catch the light. Is he a pigeon or is he a dove? #crestedpigeon #birds #nature

This is an eastern Regent Parrot 🦜 I saw recently at Healesville Sanctuary, near Melbourne. There are two subspecies: the eastern Regent Parrot, found in SE Australia, and the western one, found in SW Australia. This one is more at risk due to habitat loss. #parrot #regentparrot #nature

At the cafe yesterday, this Australian Ibis took an interest in my cheese and ham sandwich. I managed to eat it just in time! Ibises have adapted to city life, scavenging in bins and parks, which has earned them the nickname “bin chicken.” #birds #ibis #chicken

This lake is ideal for observing various bird species. Recently spotted, the Australian Pelican boasts the largest bill of any bird, reaching up to 50 cm (20 inches). Its large bill and flexible pouch are perfect for catching fish and collecting rainwater. #bird #pelican #wildlife #nature

A local Australian Raven graces us with its presence from the nearby forest, seeking a refreshing splash on a sweltering day. These birds rank among the most intelligent globally, having been seen employing tools and dropping nuts onto roads for vehicles to crush open. #birds #raven #nature #video
