Gold Coast’s cheekiest birds: See the video

They bark, they steal from wallets and they play sports. Oh, and they’re very cute when they’re doing it. See the hilarious video of the Gold Coast’s cheekiest birds.

THESE birds certainly know how to ruffle some feathers.

From raiding wallets to taking on dogs, they’re the cheekiest – and cutest – birds on the Gold Coast.

Watch our video in the container above, which stars the following winged wonders.

Always start the day with a good breakfast.

THE BREKKIE LOVER

Owner: Cynthia Maree Pehi

The early bird catches the worm, or in this case, the Crunchy Nut.

Bend it like Buddy.

THE SOCCER STAR

Owner: Berenda Norton

Rainbow lorikeet Buddy could be the next Cristiano Ronaldo with his impressive skills on the ball. We reckon he’d make a great winger.

Looking for an S, to Es and a D.

THE INTELLECTUAL

Owner: Valma P Cronau

Bird-brained? Not at all, Indiana is more of the thinking kind judging by her love of Scrabble.

Destined to appear before the beak.

THE CHEEKY THIEF

Owner: Vicky Lyn Etscheid

Vicky Lyn Etscheid’s pineapple green cheek conure knows where the seed money is. Definitely a flight risk!

Don’t fight the claw.

THE GUARD BIRD

Submitted by: Sue Makiha

Houdini was one bird that certainly knew how to stand his ground. What a plucky character!

King Charles.

THE VENTRILOQUIST

Owner: Jessica Huang

Other people’s parrots can sing and dance, but Jessica Huang’s parrot Charles ruff-ruffles feathers by barking like a dog.

Always ready to splash out.

THE BATH LOVER

Owner: Chris Mcleod

He’s no water fowl, but lorikeet Rusky loves to cool off after a long day with a nice bath.

Perch and blow dry please.

THE PERFECT GROOMER

Owner: Toni Griffiths

Millman has got to get those feathers just right!

Who’s a pretty boy then?

THE SELFIE STAR

Owner: Melynda Robinson

Is that really me? Melynda Robinson’s lorikeet seemed to enjoy its first moment of reflection.

The perfect way to end the day.

THE QUEEN OF CUDDLES

Owner: Natalie Webb

Sugar Pow Pow is “constantly demanding head fuss”, which is a little cheeky, considering she has pooed in owner Natalie Webb’s hair three times in the last two weeks!
