Is that a Cockatoo you are eating?

The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo is one of the wonderful world of parrots here in Australia. Our country has been called the Land of Parrots. They seem to be everywhere, in wonderful colours and often in huge numbers. For example, we often have flocks of 400 or more Galahs fly over our house. Bit on the noisy side, mind you, but a truly spectacular sight.

The photo at the top of this blog is of a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo taken in the streets of Adelaide some time ago. Today’s state newspaper features a photo of a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo in a different pose – being eaten by a python.
