Out for a Stroll

As I got home from a walk on the beach I bumped into a friend and neighbour of ours taking his pet sulphur crested cockatoo for a walk.

[Joyce]

Lovely capture. Cockatoo is obviously enjoying his outing.

[Wylie]

How funny, has he left in to his children in his will?

[Yao RL]

The cockatoo surely steals the show.

[Ethel]

Oh, wow. l have come across some clever cockatoos in my time, but not one you could take for a walk down the street.
Love the light you've caught in this one. fav

[Helen Sanderson]

that's one big bird to sit on your shoulder!! great find

[Margo]

Wow He is such a big bird!! can he talk?

[Sue Cooper]

What a wonderful capture. I'd love to meet that cockatoo.

[Hazel]

Well that's lovely. What a well-behaved bird!

[Leana Niemand]

It's huge!

[Eve Pulsater]

He's a gorgeous cockatoo.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Gorgeous cockatoo -- another meaning to - going out with a bird !!!!

[Margaret Pengelly]

Amazing sight.

@thistle @pusspup @yaorenliu @ethelperry @hrs @777margo @susiemc @quietpurplehaze @leananiemand @creampuff @beryl Thanks. Perhaps I should add here that Harry the cockatoo is female, yes, a female called Harry and she can talk. In fact while Rod and I were talking Harry kept saying "Come on lets get going".

Rod and his wife haven't got any children Wylie, so I have no idea what will happen to her if she outlives them.

[Jodie]

That is one big cocky! A wonderful shot!

[Nadiya Bilovodenko]

my god what is he the big!

[Paul]

That's one big bird! A nice capture :)

[Chris K]

lovely photo. I's be worried he might fly off but perhaps she has her wings clipped

[gloria jones]

Great shot...neat bird

[Gosia]

Wow, impressive cockatoo.

[Leslie]

what a cool bird . He looks like he has a cauliflower body here

[tony gig]

Hope his wings have been clipped, mine went to flight one day and never came back, he had never done this before, for weeks I called his name to come back home. he was very tame evan going in the shower every morning with me to have his his shower ( loved his morning shower )

[8yearson]

Oh bless, what a fabulous moment caught here Babs!

[Jennifer]

Brilliant! Great capture.

[Margaret Brown]

Lovely capture, he's a size isn't he! {the cockatoo I mean!!]

[Stephanie]

Lol, never seen anyone out walking a bird before, what a fab capture!

[Debbie]

now that's something you don't see everyday.

[bkb in the city]

Great shot

[Ivan]

Love that crest!

[Peter]

Wow not your every day pet walker it would have been rude not to have taken the shot, great fun image Babs:)

[Catherine P]

Brilliant shot!

[Pat Knowles]

Well that's a change from dog walking Babs! A good talking point!

[ShirleyB]

It's always nice to have company on a walk. Great shot

[Babs]

Unfortunately, the dog died a few months ago, so now he just has to take the bird out. If he doesn't she creates havoc until he gives in and takes her out. She can fly short distances, but her wings have been clipped. She loves her outings.

[Babs]

@tonygig Oh Tony that is so sad. I hope he found a good home and another person to care for him.

[Denise Wood]

Amazing :)

[Barb Newcomb]

They are amazing birds and make great pets. Good shot of them.

[Jenfurj]

That Crest on the cocky is great & looks like a very well loved bird.

[Lois]

Great image!

[Taffy]

A fun scene to come across.

[Dawn]

Fabulous

[Babs]

@gilbertwood @beachdog @365projectorgjenfurj @loweygrace @taffy @dawnee Thanks. It is a beautiful bird and has such a nice temperament too. She is very chatty and has a lot to say for herself

Apparently there used to be cockatoo who lived in a pub at Albury who used to say "Stand back I'm an eagle"

[Marnie]

I've heard about 'man and his dog', but not 'man and his cockie'. Good luck to him, I'm definitely not a fan of sulphur-crested cockies.

[Babs]

@golftragic This one is quite nice and very well behaved.

[Pyrrhula]

Great meet and capture.

[Jane Morley]

Easier than a retriever!

[Sylvia du Toit]

Beautiful bird.
