Red-tailed female Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii) feeding in my garden. They are very messy eaters, but I wouldn't complain :-)

Did this guy just fly into your yard, or is it a pet? VERY NICE. I too would never complain about a messy bird in the yard. Love your gallery, it is so well done. #8991655
