Gotta love an ornamental pear tree full of #cockatoos in the backyard. Usually raucous but all I could hear was the sound of twigs dropping & a bit of munching. How many can you count?

TIL "the collective noun for a group of #cockatoos is a ‘crackle’."

Hot tip: Cockatoos like flavoured pasta, not plain pasta. These cockatoos like to dip their pasta in blueberry favoured pasta.
Researchers do not recommend that you serve blueberry yoghurt pasta at home.

Charismatic, cheeky Blue-eyed #cockatoos 
have vivid blue eye rings and expressive crests. They’re #vulnerable in #PapuaNewGuinea due to #palmoil #deforestation and the illegal #pet trade. Help them #BoycottPalmOil

The #magpie family were singing for quite a long time & must have made 2 #cockatoos curious, as they flew in too.
One above my head on the roof & one near one of the #magpies on the guttering.
The last yellow-tailed black cockatoos on Eyre Peninsula
"National Parks and Wildlife Service SA conservation ecologist Katrina Pobke said the loss of habitat through settlement and land clearing had impacted flocks that would have numbered in the hundreds of thousands across southern Australia's woodlands more than 10,000 years ago."

The Red-tailed black cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii), also known as Banksian/Banks' black cockatoo, is a large, predominantly black bird native to Australia. It is known for its striking red tail feathers, especially in males. Females [pictured] have yellow-orange stripes in the tail. Both sexes have a distinctive crest that can be raised or lowered. These cockatoos are intelligent and social creatures, often seen in pairs or small flocks. They inhabit forests and woodlands, primarily feeding on seeds and nuts. Their loud, raucous calls can be heard from a distance.
