And even since moving from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/weve-died-and-gone-to-kingbilli\/\">Kingbilli<\/a>, they are still a part of everyday life. They come by en masse for food if we have it, and there are two parrots in particular who stick around all the time. One (which incidentally eats from our hands) actually lands on the windowsill of the kitchen and raps on the window when looking for attention!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And charming as they are, these Australian birds are only a small part of the massive collection of stunningly beautiful winged creatures down under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not that birds don\u2019t exist in other places; but common North American birds are rarely as colourful, big, gregarious, and frankly, <em><strong>noisy<\/strong> <\/em>as their Aussie counterparts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take the cockatoo, for example<\/strong>. Here is a huge bird (usually white, but sometimes black and other colours too) that only sees non-Australian shores in a cage. Thus many people haven\u2019t actually heard what a cockatoo sounds like when they let loose in the wild. The first time I heard one, I thought I had gone back in time; it sounded like a pterodactyl! Catch them sounding off in flocks and it\u2019s absolutely deafening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a listen for yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/cockatoos.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to listen to a flock of cockatoos!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, no audio presentation of Australian birds is complete without a good ol\u2019 Kookaburra song. The first time I heard one of these puppies, I actually thought there were monkeys in the area!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/kookaburras.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to listen to kookaburras: one of my favourite Australian birds<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This says nothing of the magpies &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/australian-abbreviations\/\">known as \u201cmaggies\u201d<\/a> in Australia, (not to be confused with North American magpies which are entirely different), whose garbled call is so pleasant to hear, but whose dive bombs are brutal when you unwittingly walk or ride near a tree with their nest in it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026or the blue fairy wren, whose tiny iridescent blue body is regularly found flitting near a window\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026or the common ibis, which helped me to fetch some strange looks from locals when I saw one for the first time (<em>thinking \u201cwow!
