Cockatoos
February 20th, 2011 Posted 12:22 am
Earlier this afternoon I went to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney specifically to take photos of the sulphur-crested cockatoos that hang out in the trees and on the lawns. They were so damn adorable and surprisingly tame. Here are my favourites of the snaps I took:
Cockatoo munching on a twig
Cockatoo with a cheeky look on his face
Cockatoo & a statue
More cockatoos
Cockatoo sitting at the top of a tree stump
Cockatoos arguing over an irrigation system
Cockatoo sitting on a signpost
Cockatoo on a palm frond
Not a cockatoo
Cockatoos fossicking through the ground
Cockatoo with the Harbour Bridge in the background
Cockatoo with Sydney Tower in the background
Cockatoos by a flower garden
Cockatoo having a sip of water from a leaking tap
Not cockatoos
I want one as a pet now!

hmm… those last ones are definitely gulls though Dan! All very nice photos indeed, no matter what bird.

Ha ha, sorry I didnt leave a comment last night because I was so bothered and stuffed!!! But indeed they are GREAT pics you gots talent. Especially the way you’ve kind of “photoshopped” them. Love the one of the cocky on the palm frond with his wings flapping!
