Sulphur Crested Cockatoo

Cacatua Galerita

We are about to go on to water restrictions 5 because of the drought, and the Council workers have been fixing all of the dripping taps. A frustrated cockie can't get a drink at his usual tap; if he were a little stronger, I think he would have been able to turn the water on. He certainly had the right movements!

This is a great shot, Lou. Very sorry to hear of your very severe water restrictions.It is terrible. We actually had a bit of a shower late this afternoon. Enough to settle the dust.
