World Bird Wednesday: Sulphur-crested Cockatoo

In Australia, the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo's range extends throughout the northern and eastern mainland, and Tasmania. A small population has become established around Perth, Western Australia. Sulphur-crested Cockatoos are found in a variety of timbered habitats and are common around human settlements. The birds stay in the same area all year round. Their normal diet consists of berries, seeds, nuts and roots.

Previously, I had only managed to photograph them from one of their favourite hangouts just before a storm blew in.

I posted these next 3 images at the end of last week for another purpose BUT I had always planned to post them for this link up. For weeks, I have been trying to capture this resident group of 6-8 Sulphur-crested Cockatoos, while they were feeding. I was thrilled to find them on the vacant block around the corner as I ventured off on my afternoon walk last Friday.

Next week I will finally post my numerous ducks which have been waiting patiently in my October folder for a couple of weeks..
