Cute proof:

| Red wattlebird chicks |
They don't stay this cute forever though. This is what they will look like when they grow up.
The adults seem to be pretty aggressive towards smaller birds, including fairy-wrens. They keep chasing them around and swooping at bushes full of little birds. I don't know whether this is a seasonal behaviour linked to the breeding season or whether they act this way the whole year around.
If you can't quite work out where their name comes from here is a shot where you can see the red wattles.
