Hello Cocky

The cockatoo, or cocky as it's popularly known, is one of Australia's most recognisable native birds.

My wife has a love and hate relationship with the cocky. She planted a row of sun flowers in our front garden. Every morning a couple of cockies will land on the flowers and having a feast of fresh seeds. As a result, some of the plants collapsed by the weight as cocky is a bird as big as a young chicken.

The cocky will make a loud noise while having their breaky. My wife upon woke up by the cocky will rush for a camera and try to get a few good shots. She then will chase the fellows away to avoid further damage to the plant. This was happening for the last few weeks.


This is the culprit caught on camera.
