This cheeky Red-tailed Black Cockatoo swung underneath the branch to look at me. These cockatoos are very raucous and destructive, they strip gum trees of their bark and branches within hours.

What a superb portrait Debbie! Despite their destructive habits I have a real soft spot for them! #11434224Susan M. Campbell February 11, 2016
I love the feathers on his head. A very nice shot. #11434268Marijana Fajgl February 11, 2016
Destructive, but so beautiful! fantastic capture, Debbie! #11434304frank w. degenhardt February 11, 2016
Its to bad that such a cute and beautiful bird has to be so destructive. What a wonderful pose he gives you and what a beautiful job you did with it. The colors are so pretty, I love the little dots of cream color on the feathers.The eyes big and bright and the mouth opened enough to see the tongue. The details are incredible. What a beauty this is. Love it. #11434423Ellen Hodges February 15, 2016
Fabulous detail and pose, Deb! Agree with Frank, but a very lovely bird and capture!! The details are the best ever!!! #11435561Nancy L. Green February 15, 2016
