Emile, were you in Australia, hehee? This is another one of our natives, the Sulphur-Crested cockatoo, although he is only small, I wonder if he's a juvenile. We feed around 90 wild ones every day in our front yard. He's a little beauty! :) #1627187

That's a beautiful bird, Emile, and I'm impressed with Debbie's information about feeding 90 wild ones in her yard. What a sight that would be. #11348150

They do like to eat and do some fun things to get the food. Have several pictures of this kind of bird. Beautiful pose on the hand of the trainer. Love it Emile. #11348258
