I’m a big fan of parrots - I think they’re fascinating creatures. Many of them live for longer than us humans and it's interesting to me the way they learn to mimic human voices even though they don't really comprehend what they're saying.

Yellow-tailed black cockatoos - with many thanks to my neighbour who rang and told me they were there!
Unfortunately, I only got the one shot in before they flew away. Hopefully they liked it so much they come back to dine again.

Their loud, raucous calls can be heard from a distance.

I’ve had the weirdest week:
Saw a meteorite and a fireball
While standing in the garden today about twelve #BlackCockatoos flew overhead and landed in the neighbour’s trees 🖤💛🤍
Trod on a something on my walk which got stuck to my shoe (see image)
I also forgot some things I needed 🤣

He and I both saw five cockatoos today, the theory is a day per bird. It’s unclear whether it’s “days until” or “days of” but in my experience it’s been days until
