If I haven’t mentioned it before they are: Little Corella Cacatua sanguinea
Yes Burn, it sure is, but it is not unusual to see flocks of 20 to 30,000 here out west.
Thank you Lily for the thank me. ;-)
And as Margaret so rightly says.
The noise when they take off is almost deafening.
No need for zoom lenses out here.
I actually had to walk backwards quite a way to get them all in. [55 mm lens]
They are so used to farmers and people they are not scared at all.
When a Farmer is ploughing his Fields.
It’s not unusual to see many thousands flying behind him and also walking on the newly ploughed soil picking up seed.
