This red kite was flying over our garden and I think he was looking at Bas our cockatoo who was in his outside cage. Bas was looking up at him . It was amazing to see how he reacted to this bird of prey. They obviously recognise each other for what they are. We daren't leave him out in the cage on his own in case something happened.
Thank you for all your kind comments and Favs. It is always much appreciated.
A lovely shot of one of these beautiful birds. They remind me very much of when one of my daughters lived in the Chilterns, where huge numbers could be seen. I would be surprised if your cockatoo was attacked. Red Kites normally prefer carrion (things which are already dead) as their basic food supply.
