| Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo |
These were taken back in August, 50 metres from my front door in the grass parkland that is at the end of my small street.
To visit other My Streets from around the world pop on over to the City Daily Photo Theme Day Page.
They look right at home in your street Jo.
ReplyDeleteoh they are, and rainbow lorikeets.
DeleteI loved seeing the cockatoos and wild parrots in Australia.
ReplyDeleteAre these white ones the birds that can make so much noise?
Your second photo is so nice, with the birds' crests crossed.
Yes very noisy Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo's indeed. I have gone back and edited the post, as I should have named the bird.
DeleteThanks for visiting :)
They look right at home in your street Jo, hope you survive the weekend heatwave.
ReplyDeleteIf someone in the family is on Facebook go to Cockatoo Wingtag. The Gardens and some researchers at Sydney Uni. have wingtagged a bunch of these guys and are tracking them around the area to get some data on their range. People send in photos of where they found them (each one has a name) and there's a nice app to help with this.
ReplyDeletebeautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteBeaut capture, I wish them further in the early morning.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind these birds landing on my street - these are lovely captures!
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely. How nice that you get to see them regularly!
ReplyDeleteGreat that they let you get so close.
ReplyDeleteLovely birds
ReplyDeletethat is a jaunty bit of headgear they have!
ReplyDeleteLucky you to see such beautiful birds round the corner ! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely visitors - my street is here.
ReplyDeleteohhh what a sweet couple :)
ReplyDeleteOK, there is no way we can beat this in Europe LOL! I also remember the bats in a garden in the center of Sydney... Not to mention koalas of course, but I don't suppose you have them in Sydney though (I mean as wild animals).
ReplyDeleteOh, I would welcome these beauties to my house at any time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of Sydney's rich birdlife.
ReplyDeleteHow great to have these visit your street. Only ever see them in cages in the UK.
ReplyDeleteThese look so exotic to me! We certainly don't have anything like this in the wild here. Your second shot is especially wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking visitors to your street!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteAll I get are lousy squirrels who dig up my flower beds and eat all the tulips. :S
ReplyDeleteI'd happily trade for these beauties! Nice idea for the theme day.
I think Halcyon and I are both a little frustrated by squirrels. This was a beautiful sequence for the theme.
ReplyDeleteI like them a lot, just so long as there are not too many at once ... they are so noisy. They love the cone on pine trees on our footpath.
ReplyDeleteI miss such nice visitors here, very good photos, Jo!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky of you to have such wonderful visitors! Bloody dirty pigeons is almost all I've got here. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun this is for the My Street Theme. Beautiful photos, Jo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and kind words.
ReplyDeleteI think my dogs would enjoy those squirrels, and Eric we do have those bats, they love our palm trees in the back yard.
It was a joy to visit all your blogs too..
:)
I think those 'Chainsaws of the Sky' are going for world domination!! What do you think?!?!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant shot for the theme Jo, excellent shots of the Corella shows off their yellow 'coif' to a tee!
