Noisy Miner



This is a young Noisy Miner near the Ashgrove library. The Noisy Miner is, as the name suggests, a very noisy bird. It can aggressively attack larger birds such as hawks and kookaburras. These attacks may be so vigorous that most other birds are excluded from an area occupied by a colony.
