The Prodigal Cocky by terryliv

The Prodigal Cocky

After being missing from the back yard for quite a few months, our very tame white cockatoo suddenly made an appearance this afternoon.
He just flew in with the rest of the flock for a feed and then took up his position on the back wall, gave a couple of quiet squawks and then waited for me to come and talk to him.
We had a chat, I took a few pics and then off he flew again. Hopefully he is around for a while.
SOOC - no crop

He is gorgeous - can you hand feed him Poppo?

He is beautiful, did he tell you where he'd been? ha ha. Must have been off on the razzle.

Great close up detail. Fav

@gigiflower Yes and no. Yes he will eat out of my hand - readily. But I usually put the seed into a small container like a sugar scoop and then hold that. Not that I don't trust him and his beak or anything . . . . . .

Gorgeous guy!

He is one handsome bird! How fabulous that he'll let you approach so close - that's amazing. Guess he knows a friend when he sees one. I love the details you've shown - never seen one up close.

He is looking right in the camera lens! How neat that he is so comfortable in your company. Grand picture you've taken of him.

Beautiful shot and detail. Are you a Cocky whisperer...that doesn't sound right.

Great shot Poppo

Poppo, this is so neat! I like the detail of his white and yellow feathers!

Great shot. Fav.

What an honour to be allowed to feed him and have a chat :)

You just have to love the Cockies don't you. A lady in our road feeds the birds every day. I don't think they are as tame as yours though.
