I saw every bird IRL from these photos below in urban environment, it was a magnificent experience. The parakeets are extremely loud and the falcon is really shy, if you get near them about 10 yards they'll run away from you.

Emus are one of the few animals that can be both goofy and graceful at the same time:

The falcon is a Northern/Southern Cara Cara, close relative to falcons but I think they are separate.
 
Timelapse of chickadee nest I hosted two years ago. The bulk of the nest is moss, with the inner cup being animal hair and bits of insulation .

Ovenbird nest I discovered. They make a perfectly camouflaged nest on the ground out of a dome of leaves. Im particularly proud of finding this myself.

Entrance. Zoom in close and you can see the chicks beaks behind the bottom rim of the hole.
