Australian Birds - Crimson Rosella

by Geoff Oliver
(Melbourne, Australia)

I was out with the family last weekend at a local park here in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia. Many of these birds came up very close. I think they are quite used to human contact and were after food.

Anyway this one in particular was prepared to stay quite close as I filmed him. I felt like he was actually trying to work out what I was doing - as he peered down the camera lens.

You can hear my grandchildren in the background talking to / about him.

He will certainly remain in their memories as a particularly friendly chap! I hope you enjoy him as much as we did.

King Parrot - Eating in the Rain

by Geoff Oliver
(Melbourne, Australia)

Caught this beautiful King Parrot last weekend during a very wet period. He was obviously hungry and wanting to eat!

They are regular visitors to our backyard along with lots of cockatoos and crimson rosellas.

The recent wet weather has given me the opportunity to get some shots of these birds from the normal views seen all around the net.

Hope you like it!

Various Visitors to my Bird Feeders!

by Brian
(Dallas, NC, USA)

I've recently gotten into bird watching and bird feeding. The video I've placed here shows two of my feeders and a bird bath I recently purchased.

Being new to this, I honestly don't know what most of the birds are. I know I've got some nice footage of a cardinal in there. I see a yellow finch and I think I got a robin using the bird bath. But I'm still learning what a lot of these guys are.

One this I noticed is that as soon as the bird bath was added to the area by the feeders, business picked up. It quickly became the all in one stop for a lot of birds.

As for the seed, I'm using just a wild bird mixture in one, and some thistle in the tube style feeder. The thistle quickly attracted the little guys once I added it.

I would ask anybody with tips or info worth sharing about bird feeders and bird watching to comment on the video on youtube. Thanks!!

Two Eastern Rosellas Swinging in the Wind

by Gerant Kenneth
(Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia)

These Eastern Rosellas found in New South Wales, Australia are just one of many species of bird feeding around my house.

This video captures two quietly snacking on a windy afternoon and as the sun slowly reveals itself so does the array of colours found in their feathers.

The video is 360° and you can simply move the view around by swiping the footage or moving your device around if you're using a phone or tablet.

I am now filming these birds on the regular and have lots of long, SlowTV videos releasing over the coming months. Other birds found in my videos are Rainbow Lorikeets, Magpies and Noisy Minors.

Mockingbird Ice Fishing

by Alex Lawn
(Hampton, NH, USA)

On February 14, 2019 I was taking my morning walk in my hometown of Hampton, NH. I go by a brackish creek that feeds a tidal pond.

I noticed that a mockingbird was hanging around an iced up part of the creek that had openings.

This creek is usually filled with mummichogs, a brackish water minnow.

It became apparent that the mockingbird had figured out that mummichogs were an available food resource.

The bird has learned to position himself by the opening in the ice and pluck mummichogs out.

The video shows him taking four or five shots before coming away with a minnow.
