Turkquoise Parrot Neophema pulchella HD Video 1/1 Australian Bird Media.

These colourful Parrots are always a lovely sight when seen coming down to a water hole or feeding on grassy slopes. They often feed very quietly in long grass making observation difficult. The flight is swift and direct as with all Neophemas and it is often their short contact call that alerts the observer to their presence. I filmed these birds in Giraween NP in South East Queensland. This bird Video is part of my channel started in 2015. My ambition is to showcase 500 Australian bird species. I am passionate about Bird Video as it Potentially shows bird behaviour, breeding and often bird song.
I began birdwatching when I was 12 and progressed to bird photography and then to bird Video for the past 15 years.
Originally from the UK, I find birding in Australia exciting and engaging. I have now travelled around Australia twice but mainly film birds in Queensland.
Many of the bird clips are taken from hides or blinds that I construct from bush materials, saving the need to carry a hide to a location.
Knowing bird calls and song is a big part of finding each species and naturally, knowing the habitat requirements helps also.
Enjoy.
