Begging for food.

Caught this bird with one leg up begging for a treat from the trainer/handler. Debbie Bray let me know this is a Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo from Australia. Thanks Debbie.

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! :) #1627187Lindley Johnson August 18, 2015

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. #11348150Carol L. Fowler August 18, 2015
What a beautiful bird!! #11348208frank w. degenhardt August 18, 2015
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. #11348258Emile Abbott August 19, 2015
