Cockatoos and Parrots


On the day of my arrival, there were over a dozen black cockatoos that visited the closest trees around the house. They are very noisy and are not that common, at least in the numbers that visited us. The locals say their appearance often signals approaching rains. Well, they were a very nice welcome for me. On my last visit here, I bought Susan a wild bird feeder to attract the King Parrots. Susan has continued to feed them, and now there are a dozen or so fighting for the right to eat there. They are beautiful birds and one will eat from Susan’s hand now. (King Parrot in the photo)
