Re: Cockatoo iInvasion in Australia
Amazin been here a few decades now and seen a few cockie sites for sure but never like that one must be climate change I reckon. Have you ever seen black cockies now they are a site to behold all jet black with a few red feathers in their head plumage if I recall. Very rare now I believe. I have a flock of white cockies in season fly over and head for the mango farm across the road they hang around all day eatin the mangos and gettin drunk and then fly back home in the evenin - I can set me chronochrome by them! I reckon them there are pigeons sprayed white?mind you would take dispute with ya title - they're not invadin OZ - always been here. In the very olden days in the countryside is was very common to shoot the cockies and have them roasted on the camp fire for dinner - true fair dinkum

Most especially, I am sure the cockatoos wouldn't appreciate such an insult, and I apologize to them most profusely.
Quite the partiers they are!

Re: Cockatoo iInvasion in Australia
When I lived in Western Australia, I used to have a pink and grey galah (species of cockatoo) as a pet. He was a real character. We inherited him from the local car repair shop because he was too foul mouthed for the customers. He used to tell them all to "F off". Then he started telling our neighbours to do the same thing.
THe black ones are amazing. We used to call them "rain birds" because they would always make the most noise when the rain was coming.
