Noisey Visitors


This morning I was peacefully eating my breakfast when this horrendous screetching interrupted me. I knew the cocatoos were around & by the sound,there were lots of them. The noise continued, fading in & out, until it seemed to settle into one spot, extremely loud. They could only be in one spot, the gum tree in my neighbours yard. I have captured about a dozen here, but there were others in other parts of the tree. Thank goodness they only stayed settled for about 5 minutes, before moving on to disrupt someone else's breakfast, and I could continue with mine.

Visitors


Two days ago, just on dusk, there was such a racket going on outside that I could hardly hear myself think. On further inspection I found this sulphur crested cocatoo sitting on the telegraph pole.
He watched me intently, I guess hoping for food. No chance! I have fallen into that trap before & then had them hanging off the house as well as pulling my garden to shreads. After a few minutes he was joined by more of his friends.



They were all a lttle fluffed due to the cool breeze that has been comming up every afternoon.
