Description:

Noisy medium size birds in a group. They were jumping like sparrows looking very funny. Apparently they are named apostle birds because they travel in groups of 12.

They also like to use other birds disused nests.
Esp. pee wee nests.

Thank you very much Christiane and kunoir. I wish I had counted them to see if they were exactly 12 :)
