The Cockatoo only SCREAMS !! :D

Great shot of the old cocky & his mate. They are such friendly creatures but man they can bite ! Very sharp shot.

I am embarking on a birdfest of biblical proportions this week-end & hope to get some decent parrot shots with my new 20D.

Thanks Tim. Really would like to show a bunch of images, but sadly at this moment both of them look more like vultures then parrots (between molting and feather plucking) :D:cry

Egrets get top billing :uhoh, no tell me it isn't so !! :D
