Tale of Two Cockatoos.

Brilliant !!!!!
You could do that for a living ..... photos and captions !

Great photos :)

Thanks Marguerite and Louise - it was such a great scene that was being played out before me. I've never really seen a cockatoo grab another with their claws and almost pull them back - just amazing!!

Brilliant blog and fantastic photos :o)

Great blog Bernieh, really made me laugh :o))

Thanks TT - these two seem to know each other well. They're both males - maybe brothers although I'm not sure that family sticks together with this species.

Lily2 - I was having a bit of a giggle watching them!

thats a good one enjoyed that

Thanks Bjs - glad to put a smile on your dial.

Fantastic Bernie, wish I lived in a country where I could have two Toos on my staircase LOL. Having two Galahs myself, not the same I know, but I would be in my element with those two! Great captions, well done!

Great blog & pics BH.

We had some flys in the garden yesterday.......lol!

You lucky thing you:0)

Pamazon - this one is probably Australia's best known parrot. These birds are often kept as pets. They're extremely intelligent and are very good at learning to talk - the downside however is they can be very loud, mischievous and live for more than 70 years!

Oddbillie - there are some very interesting flies you know! I've seen more than my fair share of them over here.

this is so funny

great pics

x x x

I enjoyed every bit of it still laughing and beautiful pictures and thanks for the id info.

How lovely to have a couple of swells like that land in your garden...we're lucky to get a pair of pigeons!!
Love your captions...very funny!

Thanks for the chuckle - great photos!

Thanks for a brill blog, and photos.

Great blog BH, I to enjoyed the captions :~))

Thanks for the comments Morgana, Fluff, Spritz, Clarice and Ian - glad you had a bit of a giggle.

Lovely Bernieh they are handsome very photogenic and as ever love your captions

:o))

Glad you enjoyed it Neellan - and yes I would call them handsome fellows too.

:o))

enjoyed the blog...I was aware of the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo ... was not aware they hailed from Aussie.
I was introduced to them on the Tele by the New Jersey cop "berretta" (Robert Blake) Always thought it was cool how that bird answered the phone.

I remember that now! ... wow great memory Kmccue07! It's so true - these birds have the gift of the gab - you just have to careful what you say in front of them.

The main reason I watched the show was to see the bird "Fred" ...I couldn't tell ya much of anything else...had to do a quick search to find the "setting." LOL

That would be the only reason for watching that show - well done you for even remembering the name of the bird.

I remember that show as well Kris, are we showing our age now?

not if we say it was a previous life...reincarnated and am now only 20 LOL...its my story and I'm sticken to it. (if only my body would believe it)

LMAO, Do you think it will work Kris? Trouble is I can't spell reincan......

Brilliant!

A lovely blog Bernieh...and great captions to accompany it !!

Thanks Rbtkew and BB - we get small flocks of these every year and they're such noisy visitors, but such beautiful things.

Oh Bernieh, how did I miss this ?? Wonderful pictures with a potted description worthy of Nat Geo !!

You really do have a gift !! x

Very nice, thanks Sue.

Love the cockatoos and captions: we've never had many close-ups with wildlife here in Sydney. Do you get wallabies hopping around on your lawn?

Thanks Pip c - yes we get lots of wallabies hopping around out property. Our place is located in the hills surrounding our city and its bordered on 3 sides by the bush ... so we're lucky we do get to see quite a bit of the local wildlife.
