Cockathrees by stray_shooter

Cockathrees

Monday was move down to Sydney day and no photos (of interest) were taken, so I'm resorting to more shots of the birds that often inhabit Poppo's back yard. The cockatoos appear in large numbers at times. Here are three that agreed to pose for me.
What an exotic composition! Fav!

Great Shot! My sisters neighbor had these and my brother and I were quite young. We called them 'punk rock chickens'

@onewing A real thrill for me to see them in the wild Babs. In California all I get to see in the wild are crows and swallows!

@simta Спасибо Татьяна. Я был удачлив, чтобы увидеть их в их естественной обстановке. Австралия имеет так много красивых видов птиц.

@terryliv I don't recall it being quite so dark, but I think that in order to freeze them on aperture priority, the lens speed dropped way down...to the point where I accidentally created artificial drama. I'm good at that, you know.

I don't know how that happened. They look almost ceramic.
