Cockatoo

Since Peter's home is on the outskirts of Sydney, quite a bit of wildlife comes visiting. These cockatoos were seen out a back window, enjoying some vegetation by the roadside.

While cockatoos are beautiful birds, especially when they raise their mane (it's a beautiful yellow, and hence the name of sulphur crested cockatoo) but they are incredibly noisy! They screech regularly flying around, and can be heard for quite a distance.

The near one seems to be well positioned.
