I
also mentioned this a while ago on birding-aus and
have heard Swift Parrots on a few episodes of Better Holmes and Gardens. I
wonder if its just a tape playing in the back ground!
Speaking about Swift Parrots, check this
story out from the ABC News website:

Homes and Gardens
Hi All
An interesting note. I was watching Better
Homes and Gardens (Channel 7) on Friday night and they had a segment on
constructing a garden shed. While the presenter was laying concrete,
there was the unmistakable call of several Swift Parrots flying around
him. The birds continued calling throughout the filming sequence. I
don’t know where the backyard was that they were filming in, but I
suspect it was somewhere in NSW.
Regards,
Daniel.
