Cockatoos and Rosella

 the start of a new day,  in the morning sunshine, up high in the angophora tree, a Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo

 on the roof-top; I just happened to be having a cuppa break out in the garden, with my camera alongside, when I heard this Rosella



 later in the day, raucous cockatoos with some ritual.  Lots of screeching and head bobbing...





they sure know how to get the attention

    Great photos. Rosellas we don't have right around here. Cockies we do! They are fun to watch and they certainly put on a show for you.

    What beautiful wild birds you have in your backyard - what a treat! Love your first cockatoo view looking up at him.

    Both birds are beautiful! The first photo of the Cockatoo is great with the deep blue sky and morning light. Those yellow "crowns" are very cool! The Rosella has lots of striking colors!

    Very pretty birds, unfortunately, they live with us in a cage :-(

    Parrot. For our territory are large exotic parrots. I envy you these beautiful colored birds. I wish you nice future spring. Peter.

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.
