Close to the forest, I built a large birdbath, and this is what happened next - all in one day.

yeh me too! My lorikeets LOVE this! No idea why, normally they hate or have no interest in narated or music background videos, especially of non-lorikeets, but they absolutely LOVE this one & climb out of their cage & try to get to the tv. I even ended up putting one of their long perches, leading from their cage to the tv & they went right across it to see it close. They don't like the Cockatoo's screech, but love the rest

You are fibbing. All in one day - wow! Great commentary. I have 100 acres zoned E2 near Cessnock. So many birds. We are the very top block of the Bow Wow Creek catchment (our dogs thought it was hilarious). We have nine gullies/creek heads. Us and the tract below (circa another 20-30 blocks along the creek) are listed on the National Trust and State Heritage Register. Large Permian fossils a few blocks down. There are endangered species, and Environment NSW released 20 endangered Regent Honey Eaters last year but sadly 14 of the monitors have gone silent. They suspect Owls. I want to get to know the birds and their calls. I have a Nikon 400mm zoom and hope to nab some good shots. I have some head and shoulders shots of Eastern Yellow Robins. Thanks again. Liked and Subscribed!

Dig out a big dished area on the ground with a flat bottom. Line it with black garden plastic. Mix cement in a wheelbarrow, pour it in. Spread it out with your hands until about 8 cm thick. (you can reinforce it with a piece of chicken wire pressed into the mix until not seen) Allow to set and just pop it out! (I put a spoon of oxide powder in the cement to colour it a bit - looks like rock!) Cheers

Just a rant about introduced birds. Very nice video, no complaints. Love the information provided too, thank you! :) Ugh people seem completely unable to take care of any wildlife and prevent stupid tragedies involving birds. I don't mean to criticize the actual birds, what they do is natural, but the fact that they were actually introduced just makes the entire situation peoples' fault, and no-one cares or notices. Even if people do care, their methods of dealing with these difficulties is absolutely disgusting. Poisoning and mistaking some birds for others and killing them off 'accidentally' is not forgivable. But of course there aren't many that hold up wildlife and birds as an actually important subject. It's way below the stupid fashion scandals or celebrity drama on people's lists of priorities. Of course I don't speak for everyone, but even an idiot could see the obvious bias towards more superfluous and unimportant issues in life.
