We also have two flocks of Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos in the area. But they've never graced the backyard with there presence --YET.
White cockies (that's the Aussie term for em) are 20 inches long, a wingspan of almost 3 feet, they can live to 100 years old, are very intelligent, and they are F*CKING LOUD! We're talking some serious loud squacks. REALLY, REALLY LOUD SQUUUU-WACKS!!
Anyways, I had one of them show up in the bird feeder this morning. I grabbed the camera and shot of few through the window, then went out onto the side patio by the grill to get some close-ups.
Here's what I got:
Now you know why I'm call a Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo
What's your problem, bud?
Just a mouthfull, a bit off the flank!
Here I am in all my glory! Worship Me!

These are fantastic pics. I had no idea these kinds of birds existed outside of the pet shop:/
Suzer: Next time you are driving through the Hills, swing by Strath. The gully where the river goes through town (about by the main square)is home to a flock of over a thousand cockies. The locals aren't too happy with them, but you can get some great pics there.
