Noisy Miner
Although Noisy Miners are quite handsome birds, they are not popular - they're very aggressive and drive most other smaller birds away. They can muscle up to Magpies and Kookaburras and puff out their chest and pretend they're tough - the other birds totally ignore them! Quite funny sometimes!
