The ubiquitous sulphur-crested cockatoo ('cockie') is highly successful throughout Australia, even finding a good living in city parks. They are cute, but also large, social, extremely noisy (I cannot understand why people would want one of these shriekers in the house as a pet) and occasionally wantonly destructive. They are known to rip holes in screening and even reduce wooden siding, railings, etc. to splinters, apparently just for the hell of it. Consequently, they are often heartily disliked. These were photographed as they fed on grass shoots on a lawn in Wollongong, on the coast of New South Wales near Wollongong. |
