I've driven a one, long long time ago. :)

Which bird is that? :)

Yeah, I remember Ms Reignhard wanted to pay $2 an hour for cheap overseas workers from China. :)
Yep, Hangkooks are quite a flock of noisy miners with their hands at each other's throat. :D...

We are talkin bout a different kinda 'Indian Minors' now, aren't we? :D
Oddly enough, both types are two legged. :1087:

That's good news. Not too long ago, I was believing the Indian Minahs were rapidly replacing them.
Looks like local noisy miners have been making a small comeback around here. :cheers:

They are. I think GQtdauto was talking about the native noisy miner, the one I picked up from the front lawn as in the OP picture. Apparently they quite abundant(the native noisy miner) in...

Do you see them in your neck of the woods mate(Eltham?)?
I've never seen them in Bundoora, Mill Park area back then, but I may be wrong about that.
Indian Minahs are everywhere on the other hand.

It's a noisy miner. Few of them around here atm. I couldn't see many of them in Melbourne outer east when I first moved in, but there are few now. I didn't see them in Melbourne outer north either,...

Thanx for the tip mate.
Few years ago I saved a Kookaburra that I found in the middle of the road on Mount Dandenong road during my bike rides.
I took the critter all the way home and kept him...

BTW folks, WIRES in Victoria is basically the Wild Life Victoria. They don't deal with anything of this nature unless the animal is injured.

Obviously you've got enough of them to make lot of noise there.
Here they are not that common I think, at least not in the areas I grew up.
The invasive Indian Mynah is doing well on the other...

It looks like either it went fantastically right or went horribly wrong.
I just went outside to grab some welding gear and came back, and the squeaker was still there. Then the sky starting...

Little birdie is not moving under the bush, so I reckon the old folks have either given up or moved on thinking he/she made it. Looks like another damn rescue operation for me at the expense of my...

Yeah, but I can't fathom them culling native miners mate, but I believe ya.

It can fly from a tree to the ground, but not quite strong or grown with feathers to fly up onto the trees.
I'll watch out for next half hour or so and see what happens.

I placed him/her on a tree but flew back to the ground and hanging around the ground under the tree atm, partially camouflaged. It appears to be searching for food on the ground as well.
I think...

I left it on a tree branch, but flew onto the ground.
I think it's their natural behaviour at this stage to learn.
I hope it will make it. He/she's just under the tree atm. :)

Vets don't care much for this sort of thing mate. I called Wildlife Vic and their advice is to let it go where I found it, but I'm bit reluctant to leave it just on the front lawn. I'm thinking...

Yeah, I hear that noise bit further away.
This little one makes the same call when I kinda encouraged him/her to do that
and watched if the parents turn up.
I agree, I need to let my species...

Hey Guys,

I found this young fella in the front yard this morning.
Parents are nowhere to be seen, but I keep looking.

What is the correct action to make sure the little fella makes it to the...
