Wow!
There's hundreds of them around here just now!
But 6 weeks ago there were hundreds of Corellas, which are the white cockatoo, but they have moved on.....
Greetings from the land down under. :D

Yep, George, that is about a quarter of a mile away, but it has had a mixed history since that picture was taken.

My mate from school used to breed and hand rear African Greys, he could make good money on hand tame ones. You must remember Andy Handley bruv !!

Yes Trev. He was in partnership with Melvin Gregory with the pigeons at one point wasn’t he. Was he also in partnership with Vince Shaw, Bobs son who I was at school with at one time?
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

There's Kookaburras around here too, and it is a strange, haunting feeling when you hear them. It's sort of the sound track of a timeless country.
They are hard to photograph because they disappear if you get too close. I got this one right in front of the pigeon shed today.
