Ting Ting Ting bird
Saw quite a few of these greenish birds in the royal botanic gardens of melbourne. They are not afraid of humans and they make "Ting Ting Ting" calling sounds. Any ID?

Re: Ting Ting Ting bird
That's a Bell Miner (Manorina melanophrys), also called the Bellbird by some... the smallest of the miners (I'm sure you would have seen the Noisy Miner before, which looks like a grey mynah). When there's a whole flock of these it can sound like the tree can get quite melodious from afar!
