Dalucius Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 The video is not very clear. If you have a look at this link you may be able to identify it. http://www.birdsinbackyards.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigholio Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hard to tell from the vid, could be a Butcher Bird?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copafisher Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Given the way it moves, shape, size and colour I would say a wattlebird. Wattlebirds have a similar distinctive hop. The red wattles are not always distinctive. They tend to have a yellow tinted breast, though this varies also. Looked like it was feeding on the vine/fruit ?

double pluggers Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 How bad is the damn weather that we are bird watching instead of fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelican Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 my guess is east coast aussie native common Koel- eudynamis scolopacea-- A long tailed cookoo, Black for male barred for female Youl know if it is one as they have the raspiest (is that a word) koo wee style bark - call. ptetty big bird at 40 plus cm beak to tail - get your measuring mat out = ha ha or Possibly long tailed Koel. It isn't a butcherbird as we have 3 chicks and 2 adults in our garden at the minute and could be a wattle bird but beak and head shape doesn't look right. reminder to self -clean greasy fingerprints off screen and ban kids!!!
