Sulphur-crested Cockatoos

Abundant (and very loud!) as seen in Royal National Park, south of Sydney, Australia.

Nice shot Dierdra.
I cannot even see the cage bars:err:. These birds are fearfully noisy. I used to have them in an outside aviary and the chorus when the sun rises is really something. I didn't mind but my neighbours objected to being woken in the summer months. The birds I am afraid to say had to move accomodation are now in a sanctuary.

This pic. was taken in a national park. There is actually a small concession stand there & a bunch of them hang out, hoping for hand outs of fries or "hot chips." That is why they were checking me out! :-)
