A Tale of Two Cockies

DEB, This is a long story with some beautiful pictures. It's worth taking the time to look at it; especially if you're animal lovers like us...

This link is to a photography journal of the story of two cockatoos, one domestic and one wild. The female has a bad wing and cannot fly and she is courted by a wild male. He manages to get her cage open and the relationship continues from there. They even raise a family. These are some wonderful photos and a great story.

Glad you put this as its own post. I had put it in the middle of a thread and this will get more exposure. Its a wonderful story!

Deb !! what a beautiful story that is...You did make day.., thanks for posting it

Thank you. It's wonderful. I sent it to all my kids.

Such a sweet story and great pictures!!! Thanks Deb!

Aww thx!! Now y'all know how I felt when I read the story, :-).

Ya Pelle, I know what ya mean, how really great things can get lost in a thread. I have missed really good stuff before myself, (such as when you posted this story b4). See there!...it went right by me!

Sometimes I miss a lot of new threads too when first posted because of just being busy away from my desk for any length of time, lol.

What can we say? DG has a life of it's own, even a heartbeat! Good things can always bear double exposure, LOL.

Actually it would be triple exposure for the site since it was also posted in the Wildlife or Gardening for Wildlife too. Its such a sweet story, you definitely want as many people to see it as possible. I had first seen it on another forum and posted it here. Animals can sometimes teach us the best lessons. :-)

Well, I look all over and this is the only place I've seen it, so if
Debnes hadn't posted it, I would be out of luck. It's so sweet -
my kids called and thanked me.

I just looked at it again and I'm still smiling. Thanks again.

Pelletory, you're so right. Lots of human parents could take a lesson
from the little creatures who will even lay down their own lives to
protect their babes.

Debnes,

Thanks for posting it again. I read it before on one of the forums and was glad to have the chance to re-read it.

I had tears of happiness. It's such a sweet and heartwarming story!
