its gotta be the Sage Grouse, you must be watching fights between the males for mates or territory.  The males will puff up their chests to display for females and to intimidate other males.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sage_Grouse\nhttp://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3Dush-ans%26p%3Dsage%2520grouse%26fr2%3Dtab-web&w=300&h=245&imgurl=www.wildlife.utah.gov%2Fnews%2F04-04%2Fsage-grouse.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wildlife.utah.gov%2Fnews%2F04-04%2Fsage-grouse.html&size=10.5kB&name=sage-grouse.jpg&p=sage+grouse&type=jpeg&no=4&tt=3,031&oid=d5fbd7a6a12dedca&ei=UTF-8

Tukki in Hebrew (תוכי) means parrot.\n\nThis bird is known by the Brits (and later on by the Americans) as "turkey" for they wrongly recognized it as "Guinea Fowl", a chicken that was led from Madagascar to Britain through Turkey.\nIn Hebrew we call it "Hodu" (Indian), in Arabic "Chabashi" (Ethiopian), in Malaysia it is known as the "Dutch" and in India they call it "Peruvian".\n\nHebrew, anyway, is not the source.

The adult's plumage is black and white. Its facial skin is yellow (it turns orange during nesting periods) and devoid of feathers. The tail is wedged and easily distinguished in flight. The nestlings are dark brown and gradually go light until they reach adulthood at the age of 5.\n\nYou could get more information from the link below...

I believe your are referring to the black billed magpies. They have a black head and breast and a white belly and shoulder. Their wings are actually tinted with blue green but if you are not looking for the color you may not see it.

Probably great-tailed grackles. They're like huge blackbirds, very noisy and aggressive. Here's a photo and a link to their distribution map. I usually see them when I'm in Arizona in the spring.

It wasn't a parrot, it was a parakeet. Don't think it had a name except Dumbell.

I don't know where you are on the planet but links below have info.\n\nFirst link is to the best bird ID site - it loads well and has sound and video files - terrific for confirming ID of what you see in the field.\n\nIt's spring here in Northeast US - just saw my first Phoebe - they eat bugs, so weather is getting warmer.

Here's all I could find ... maybe it can get you started?\n\nWhite Stork - a silent bird - White Storks hardly ever give voice. In the world of birds it is an uncommon situation.  Stork’s lower larynx – birds’ vocal organ – is so retarded in development that it does not produce sounds.\n\nhttp://birds.poland.pl/didyou/article,White_Stork_a_silent_bird,id,95312.htm

It sounds like a house finch, also called a Hollywood finch. If the red is really sort of a purple-ish red and if it looks like it was spray painted on (i.e., rather undefined edges to the color), then it's probably a house finch. They used to be very popular as cage pets back in the 1930s.

There are wild pigeons; they are called rock doves, though I sometimes think 'concrete doves' would be a better name.

I am NOT an ornithologist... but the 'red mask'; leads me to believe... it could be a 'Moorhen'?
