I feel a little bit for our crow friends, they are awesome and very social. They even are a little bit shy and feel uncomfortable when stared at. They can be amazing friends. They don't deserve to be associated with government. But I get the joke, they're probably reporting to their friends.

    You probably thought that red tailed black cockatoos were Big Borbs of Doom, based on their size? Hah! Surprise, no they are actually Rainbow Muppets, despite their lack of colour.

    Bush stone curlews? Actually Tall and Judgey, even though they always crouch

    Apparently only the females do the knocking calls, as a territorial thing. They’re super cool birds, especially since they’re so used to people here on the west coast US! Ravens are on the east coast too, but they’re incredibly nervous about people after centuries of people blaming them for livestock deaths and killing them.

    Very cute! We've had some crows here that have made some interesting noises, but I've never encountered a raven or know much about them. Genuine question, how do you know that one is a female?

    In this case, it's politics. People turned their habitat into farms, so the birds depend on the federal government to intentionally flood fields seasonally. Musk fired all the people who do that, so there is no more habitat
