The bird is a male eclectus parrot - their range extends into Northern Australia. There is a pet one at the St Hallett winery in the Barossa Valley with whom I have had a conversation or two over the last few years. The monkey is a crab-eating macaque. Nasty when habituated to humans, as you say, and a common carrier of a long list of zoonotic diseases. There is a less common, exquisite monkey that occurs in Bali, the silvery lutung. It's worth going to the Bale Barat National Park just to see them.
