Black Cockies

One of my favourite birds is the Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo, especially the way they look like they're flying in slow motion. They are infrequent visitors here but a group of nine showed up today, including some young birds still being fed by the parents. They hung out in a tree next door for a while and I managed to snap some photos.

When I told Sofia there were cockies in the tree, she said we had to shoo them away, so I then had to explain that these were a different type of cockie and they are okay. Unlike the Sulphur-crested Cockatoos, they don't eat walnuts or almonds so they are very welcome.
