What a beautiful bird to see Carole... fantastic images. It's brought back a lovely memory for me... My son took some images of the birds in Sydney on his trip just to share with his old man... me.
Noisy? Maybe I don't have it so bad after all. I have a crow's nest outside my window and there must be a youngn' in the nest. All day long, the soft constant...caw...caw...caw... endlessly. Guess it could be worse. I could have cockatoos.
The sequence of shots looks like he's carrying on a conversion with you and then turns shy. :) Wonderful captures Carole! They may be noisy but I'm guessing still a lovely sight to see.
Wanda I photographed these ones about a kilometre away from home when out walking one morning. They do though come to the huge old angophora tree near to my back boundary fence in the bush corridor too. I don't feed the birds anymore. When I have in years gone by it tended to also encourage species that you didn't really want to, like the India Mynah
They are absolutely lovely to look at, but you all sure have the largest danged birds just hanging out in your neighborhoods. I'm not afraid of birds like some people I know, but the size of some of these do make them a bit intimidating! :-)
thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
oh, i bet they are LOUD to have around! :)

Great shots of the beautiful Cockatoo.
ReplyDeleteI can never quite get over the fact that these gorgeous birds are "not uncommon" there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bird to have come visit your yard. Probably not too enjoyable if they awaken at the crack of dawn, though.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. They are certainly noisy especially when a whole flock of them is flying over in the morning and again at evening.
ReplyDeleteHe's a beautiful bird, Carole. I would love to see one.
ReplyDeleteherrlich dieser Kakadu im Baum!

Want a good day today.

Cockatoos are such beautiful birds, and to have them wild in your backyard is wonderful! Do you feed them?

ReplyDeleteWhat a show off! But...very pretty!

Grand looking bird, looks like it might scare the heck out of you!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely bird to see, Carole!
