Singing Bird Performs for Person

Occurred on July 28, 2021 / East Gosford, New South Wales, Australia

: "The video was taken on 28 July 2021 on our back veranda, which overlooks a reserve in East Gosford, NSW, Australia. We are very lucky to have an abundance of birdlife and wildlife on our doorstep, with the birds being particularly amazing. This little one is juvenile Grey Shrike-Thrush, a native Australian bird, which we've affectionately named Hoppy. Hoppy started visiting about a month ago and is extremely inquisitive and friendly without even being fed. This particular morning Hoppy appeared and I had my phone so I decided I'd take a video. To my delight, Hoppy decided to treat me to the most amazing song. Hoppy still visits every day but hasn't yet repeated that performance for us."
