I was going to post another photo taken at Soldiers Point today but this morning I heard really loud shrieking coming from our garden. I wondered what it was because it didn't sound like one of our regular feathered visitors and then almost at the tip of one of our Norfolk pine trees I spotted this yellow tailed black cockatoo.
I think it was a youngster and he was probably shouting for his Mum. I heard shrieking in the distance too and then his Mum flew into one of our other trees. Mum must have been thinking 'damned kids they always wander off when you aren't looking,' but at least they found each other and then flew off together.
Considering this chap is almost at the tip of our Norfolk Pine which is about 30 metres tall, I think I got quite a good shot of him. At least he knew the best vantage point to find his Mum
What a funny boy……he looks quite bothered & I think mum is right to cross! Just spreading his wings but perhaps frightened himself at how bold he’d been.
