"Garn, give us some" "no! it's all mine, get your own" by lbmcshutter

"Garn, give us some" "no! it's all mine, get your own"

two sulphur crested cockatoos in negotiations over a bread roll

I was amused to watch these two, the one on the right would wait until the one on the left was munching away, he'd then bob his head down low in a submissive, non-threatening gesture and sidle up and try to take a sneaky bite. The one on the left would deny him with an abrupt sharp head dart gesture. The one on the right gave up in the end and flew away.
How funny. Most birds don't share willingly I have found. Great shot.

What a wonderful shot, such clear focus, and to catch them at their selfish best!
P.S. I've finally had a little time for 365 and have just looked through the last month or two of your album. Very very nice work!

Your words capture their expressions perfectly!! You do that so well - as well as photograph so brilliantly! Is there anything she cannot do?! =)

@lbmcshutter I'm pleased if so, I look forward to your photos every day! In fact I think it was your photo 'don't go jumping waterfalls' that really grabbed my attention in this project and realise the wonderful sights I could see around the world as part of it. (And I ended up singing the song so often I had to download it onto my ipod to get the words right!)
