Cockatoo's and Galahs are definitely the characters of the Australian bird species. They love to swing or hang upside down from tree branches or wires. Also they can make a racket!

Colourful birds. Well timed on the first.

Nice catch there.

Hope it's not 'perv' cockatoo. That would be scary for the other bird. :wink-6:

Nice set. So, they just roam wild like any other bird I take it. They're so beautiful and I only see them in cages so it's kinda hard to grasp that but I know it's common in places like South America.

I don't think it's a perv bird but you never know lol. Yes they just fly around wild. Unfortunately due to land clearing and other factors the black cockatoos are considered a "threatened" species.
