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.....

Do you drive past this place Murray, i guess its a stopping place for some.

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

There are some great places to visit over there, so much history.

Yes you are very fortunate to have such beautiful birds in your back yard

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?

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.

Great pic again there
