As far as my 3 year old daughter is concerned the highlight of the whole
show was when the Perentie snapped the baby Budgie - she was still talking
(wide-eyed) about it this morning! "How many more budgies is the lizard
going to eat?" - "Not the Mummy one!!! 'cause she can fly." and so on.
Fairly brave putting that kind of footage in a family orientated nature doco
- I flinched momentarily, but appreciated the non-gratuitous violence as
being representative of real-world conditions.
The raptor footage in the doco was something of a jumble of images and
sounds - but the soundtrack and the picture were out of kilter quite a bit
(Diamond Firetails shown - Zebra Finches calling; Budgies shown - Cockatiels
calling, etc.) - confusing only if you recognise the calls! Another vote
for the Hobby snatching a budgie out of the air. I saw Whistling and Black
Kites, Black Falcon, Brown Falcon, Nankeen Kestrel and Aus Hobby at various
points in distant and close-up shots.
