They love a biff with other birds, don’t mind a crack at the neighborhood dog and boy do they make a racket during dating season.
Noisy Miner birds get a little bit crazy during mating season but never fear — you can turn down the volume. The native birds breed from June to December, and the amount of noise they make increases significantly over the period as they compete for mates and protect their territory, according to the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife (FNPW).
“Our native Noisy Miners are not everyone’s favourite neighbours and often with good reason,” foundation CEO Susanna Bradshaw said.
