Go Away I'm Trying to Sleep

Sulphur crested cockatoos are usually such noisy birds, but it was a very hot day and this chap just wanted to sleep.

Sorry I am a bit absent from 365 at the moment, but so much going on here right now and I will catch up as soon as I can.

He does look very sleepy. I got dived bombed by one of these the other day, it wasn't fun.

[4rky]

Ah cute

[Dianne]

They are like kids - lovely when they are asleep and not looking for attention… A cute shot.

[Marnie]

Wonderful image Babs, I'd like cockies if I didn't know how much damage they do.

[Brennie B]

[Maggiemae]

It maybe good or maybe bad that so much is going on - but hopefully its all for the best! You are lucky to have this one to brighten up your day!

[Babs]

@nicolecampbell That would be scary, they can be quite cheeky can't they.
@dide They are definitely the teenagers of the bird kingdom aren't they

@golftragic All birds of the parrot family are destructive

@brennieb @maggiemae @casablanca @hrs @helenhall @bella_ss Thanks. All good, I just need a few more hours in a day at the moment and need a bit more time to myself. I could really do with some quiet time.

@pcoulson they are very cheeky aren't they

@4rky @angelar @gilbertwood @beryl @Dawn @seattlite @mittens @susiemc @henrir @jacqbb @louannwarren @carolmw @madeinnl @elisasaeter @lesip @jenp Thanks, I don't think I have ever seen a cockatoo so quiet, I think he must have just had lunch.

Who's a pretty boy? I have to admit, after living in Sydney for 16 months, I grew to dislike these noisy birds. They destroyed the solar heating thingy's on the roof

[Pyrrhula]

Great close up and portrait.

[sarah]

Fantastic

[KWind]

A sweet pose! I love the yellow!

[Jane Pittenger]

Poor thing

[Ron]

Terrific....from another currently time challenged 365er.

[Babs]

@yorkshirekiwi Oh dear, they are naughty birds aren't they and so noisy usually. I was amazed just how quiet this one was.

@pyrrhula @kwind @jgpittenger a sweet pose maybe but not usually such a sweet bird. ha ha.

@stray_shooter Thanks Ron. I need a few more hours in a day at the moment.

[tony gig]

Wonderful detailed shot...Fav

[Hazel]

I also feel like that sometimes!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good shot- he really doesn't want to open that eye and yet he's got to watch you!

[haskar]

Great close up.
