Another cockatoo was also eating in another tree. I got the feeling they knew they were being photographed, but one of them screeched an alarm shortly after and the whole group flew off. I saw a flock well over a hundred flying around the suburb later that day.

❤️ These are great shots. So weird to see. We have oaks that look like that, but the only way there’d be a cockatoo in one is if someone’s pet escaped. It must be so cool to see a whole flock. (In the US)

Thank you. They were by the side of the road and used to humans nearby. Ive seen them before chill around parks and fly off whenever they think we get too close.
