They dont have much fear, will attack magpies and crows, and even attack humans. I have been attacked - moreso pestered - a few times.

The best thing about green-cheekies is that habit they have of using their molted feathers as head-scratchers. Mine will pick up a tailfeather, carefully nibble the quill to the sharpest possible point, then go to town on the back of his head and his eyerings. :allears:

Kestrel's are great too. One used to frequent Target field for a couple weeks a few years back. I was at this game.

The Kestrel was the most exciting part of the game, which I think finished 2 - 0.

Tawny frogmouths are the most amusing birds but not actually an owl.

I got to look awkward holding one last summer! He was the best. I want one as a pet.

I like these guys - European Magpies. The window in my living room is overlooking a hiking path about 8 ft below so I can see their nests and watch them freak out whenever someone walks under them. I worry one day one of them will fly into my window and kill me when I keep it open though. They make cool noises that wake me up a lot at 5 in the morning sometimes but that's alright.
