Sulphur-crested Cockatoo

Cacatua galerita

This bird loves the dish, is often the first one to appear when the fresh seed arrives,
but the lorikeets soon send him packing when they decide they want to eat.

Excellent detail, the background contrasts the cocky really well.. V

My first thought when I looked at the lens was "wallet-ouch", but it's not as bad as I thought; a bit under two grand. (Although Amazon WOULD sell it for $1400+ shipping if they were allowed to sell it into Australia, which they can't due to price-gouging of the local market by Canon, grrr, don't get me started.) However it seems to have been worth it; such fine detail on both the feathers and the chain, as well as the colour of the crown.

Very lovely. I wish we had that sight in our garden.

So nice to see it's crest up. Nice lighting. I thought, at first, that it was a captive bird. How cool to have a cockatoo coming to your feeders!
