Galah vs Sulphur Crested Cockatoo

Cockatoo wins.
Not much on offer today so I took the camera into the back yard while our bird friends were having dinner. Its been a while since I posted a Galah photo so I thought I would focus on them but the cockatoos like to hog the limelight

[Denise (lyndemc)]

I'd back down too if that big pointy beak was comin' at me. Good timing with the shutter button.

[Martin Jalkotzy]

Great action shot!

[Susan C Clow]

Wow you can tell her is scolding. That is an amazing capture and even the body language of Galah is so perfect for getting a scolding. I could FAV this 10 times but can't. So once it will be.

@gilbertwood
We both missed a song opportunity here:
You silly galah
you're better by far
Than a white cockatoo
Or a budgerigar
They squeak and squawk
And try to talk
Why me and them's
Like cheese and chalk

[Denise Wood]

@terryliv Bu..er! bet lift my game :)

[Kane Arlow]

Galahs are very noisy and destructive birds. But the Cockatoos are even more noisy and destructive. The Galah never had a chance.
Great action shot.
