    Common Australian Birds

    You won't like the answer going by your previous comments, but Adelaide got rid of starlings and sparrows by specifically creating habitats for the Noisy Miner, they cleared out the foreign birds real quick, almost none left now. We've also introduced $200 on the spot fines for people feeding...

    Common Australian Birds

    That's one way to tell the difference between a Rainbow Lorikeet and a Red Collared Lorikeet, Rainbow Lorikeets eat seeds, Red Collared Lorikeets don't. Red Collared Lorikeets eat only nectar and pollen.

    That's the result of farming. Wheat farms for the bigger birds and sunflower and canola for the smaller ones. South Australia never used to have fruit bats but we've got them now - you're quite welcome to have them back if you want them. :) Once again that's due to farming, fruit farms through...

    Common Australian Birds

    South Australia always had Galahs, Sulphur Cresteds and Corellas. Being seed eaters they prefer open woodlands with large grassy areas as opposed to dense forest. Several species of Lorikeets and Rosellas including the Rainbow Lorrikeet are also original natives here as well as Budgerigars and...

    Common Australian Birds

    Another interesting tidbit about parrots - they don't sweat. Instead of producing sweat their skin produces a dry powder that they fluff through their feathers to keep mites and other parasites out. That's why they all smell funny.

    Common Australian Birds

    We think our magpies are the most musical bird on the planet. Other than that it really only sounds musical when you can hear many species at the same time. Most of our birds are very loud but don't really sing very much. Parrots are especially noisy and can damage eardrums if there's enough of...

    Common Australian Birds

    Common across the top end. Not as big as a wedge tail but much more aggressive, a sea eagle will easily kick a pair of wedge tails out of their territory if he decides it's now his. The common name for these is Plover, and I'm honestly surprised you haven't seen any, they're very common across...

    tips for managing obsessive researching?

    For anything that interests me I learn at a rate that boggles the minds of most people, but key to that is it must be something I'm interested in. It seems I only have high intelligence if I'm having fun.

    I'm not sure where he's from but he's also done videos in China and he's currently in England. He got quite a following here, he always seems so nice and polite.

    We did a similar thing here with what we call the Halal Snack Pack, or HSP. Started in the kebab shops, it's hot chips (not fries, actual chips) topped with cheese, kebab meat and garlic barbecue and chilli sauces. Unique to Australia, apparently. :) Tasty and cheap though.

    We have the entire range in Aus. Pronounced "donair" but spelled Doner Kebab is the eastern Mediterranean version, Turkiye, Syria, Lebanon, etc. In Greece it's called a Yiros. Move a little further west and in regions around Hungary it's known as a Souvlaki. They're all basically the same thing...

    Remember the old TV series Flipper? Dolphins don't make noises like that, they only make clicking sounds. The sound used for Flipper is a recording of a kookaburra run at double speed. :)

    Common Australian Birds

    All except for the King Parrot which only lives on the east coast, I never spent much time on the east coast, too built up and suburban. And of course I've seen many different species that don't feature in these videos. One day I watched a flock of Sulphur Crested Cockatoos sitting on a power...

    Asperger / Autism with a special interest of water, swim and get wet with clothes on?

    A lot of people do it, 2000 Km or 1200 miles of river. It's more about the experience of being in remote bushland though, although not as green and lush looking as the tropics it has a beauty and charm all of it's own that creeps in to your bones and never leaves you. There's something about the...

    relationship obsession

    I wasn't much different to you at that age. We didn't have dating sites back then but I responded to a couple of ads in newspapers and got pretty much the same result as you described. I gave up on those real quick though and instead turned to an Australian icon - The Pub. The trouble with...
