Cockatoos in the Wind

I bet you've seen a cockat◔◔? I know I certainly have!

Here, by the eastern gate, is the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) eating some of the sunflower seeds, wheat and birdseed mix I toss out for them--and other birds--today and every other day of the year.  (Been doin' it for decades, now!)

Today I got out my old digital snapshot flickbook camera to try out the "abandoned camera method" again--where I leave out the camera on the ground with some birdseed, for ten minutes or so, and then come back and see what good close-up shots were captured on film. I didn't get the green Indian Ringneck Parakeet I had hoped for, but got cute Sulphur-crested Cockatoos (Cacatua galerita) instead.

Apologies for the noisy wind; and shotgun sounds in the distance.
