Yeah, shame my dad and his neighbours see them and the Kookaburras as pests. They should appreciate their exotic wildlife.

Some birds have really surreal looks - how is it possible that they evolved this way and survived in wild?

I know, its a good job these guys fly around in big flocks to reduce the probability of a predator nabbing them or they would all be eaten!

To be honest, they do hide really well when in trees.

And for that matter cages O.O
