Description This Cockatoo was sitting onΒ our pool fence which isn't all that pretty, so have tried to make it more fitting for such a pretty, funny and noisy bird. He had brought many friends who were all way up in the trees nearby . Too far away to get a good clear capture with my camera zoom

Thanks for any faves and comments. Always very appreciated.

Hi Cynthia. We have lots of wild cockatoos or cockies as we call them here. There are also black ones on the island. They don't usually get as close as this and prefer to shout at us from the trees . I think this one spotted some bread I'd put out for the currawong who was there. Perhaps the lorikeets keep them away I got some more photos the other day. I will post them soon. They're still on my camera.

Well done! At first I thought it was a painting. You probably want them to stay away too, they can be such buggers and cause so much damage. But yes funny also...
