Learning parrot fashion...

By ladynewbury
My silly Sunday contribution. These cockatoos were very interested in Dave's camera and his shoe laces.
The galah cockatoo, also known as the pink and grey, is one of the most common and widespread cockatoos, and it can be found in open country in almost all parts of mainland Australia. Over here in the U.K. we have to see ours in aviaries of course.

Thank you to all for the V's & C's and special thanks as always to those who gave me a UA. Pam

My monopod looks nothing like it.

Love the pants. Got a few for my paintwork.
For that reason alone I will vote with my feet and my arms.

I always find it special and lovely when wild creatures are comfortable enough with us to get close and interact. Lovely shot, Pam.
