Screeching from the Angophora tree as they settled in for a short while. There were about five Sulphur-crested Cockatoos up there, near to 7.30 a.m.
they each had differing locations
must've been a little cooler up there in the shadows for this one
dangerous limbs like this had been removed by council years back
getting on with the morning rituals
preening
making sure all feathers in the right place
contemplating
...take off; and that was the end of the photo shoot.

What a wonderful moment to photograph ... cockatoos seem to spend most of their life preening .... getting every little feather into place then they fly off into the blue yonder with their feathers ruffled.
Beautiful Cockatoos, they are priceless.
i love the take off shot. what a beauty. ( :
they're just so beautiful!
These guys have great crests! Beautiful shots!
Great shots of a great bird.
I only see these birds when they are doing tricks for tourists. They look much much better in your pictures.
The photos of the bird are beautiful!
