Birds found in my back yard

SULPHUR CRESTED COCKATOO These are a native parrot who fly over in groups of 20 or 30.  They are very noisy and a joy to watch.	BLACKBIRD - PEST These birds are not native but imported and are a nuisance.
HOUSE SPARROW we have hundreds of these birds.  They are also an imported pest, and very annoying.	MAGPIE We have many of these visit our yard. searching for food. We put out scraps, bread and seeds.  They are native and their "warbling"  is a delight to listen to.
NEW HOLLAND HONEY EATER We are fortunate to have a nest of these nectar eaters in our yard.   These little birds are also native and eat insects and are attacted to the 'bottle-brush' type trees and bushes in our yeard.	RAVEN or CROW These large  native birds also visit our yard on a regular basis looking for food and water.
Willie Wagtail These small birds have a cheeky behaviour in our yard. They run in short bursts across the ground and never seem to stop wagging their tails which they sometimes fan.	Magpie-Lark These black and white birds are smaller than the true Magpie and come into our yard to find food.   They strt around the yard and have a distictive high ptched "pee wee" call.
Noisy Minor This bird visits our back yard from time to time looking for food.  They can be very noisy and agressive towards other birds	Musk Lorikeet These litte birds visit our yard in the hundreds to feed on the gum tree flowers and Bottle Brush bracts.   They are very noisy just after dawn and just before dusk.
Galah The Galah is another native parrot and they visit our yard in summer for a drink or to feed on our pre-ripe almonds.  They come in karge numbers, and are very noisy.	Spotted Turtledove (Imported Pest) As pretty as these birds appear they are a pest.  They can be tamed and they visit our yard to feed.   They have a nest in a nearby Gum Tree so the numbers visiting vary from time to time.
