Some of the also rans from todays cockatoo shots. The photo bottom right really shows off their impressive wing span.
True story. I was in the kitchen today when out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of a cockatoo coming in the back door and heading straight at me. Ducked my head and braced myself for the bang as it crashed into the kitchen window - but nothing. Despite the fact that the window was only open part way, it somehow managed to fly thought without so much as a lost feather.
They are such clowns.
do any of them talk? There was one where we stayed in Melbourne many years ago who would come out of the trees every morning and say "Good morning Luv!" to the proprietor of our b&b. It was so charming.
