“Father’s Day” 2024, in Hollywood (final in series-proper)

 

 

Southwest WA’s black cockatoos are highly sociable and very intelligent.

They are intermittently LOUD, but rarely aggressive/disputatious.

Breeding pairs usually “bond” permanently, and both parents are remarkably attentive to their offspring.

When it comes to enjoying their food, very evidently – both the “capturing” and the consumption thereof – these birds have few peers.

Not long after I took this post’s photos my beloved and I walked out of Hollywood Reserve and into its big neighbour: Karrakatta Cemetery.

As you’ll see in the single-image sequel to this series, Karrakatta was about to give us an “avian surprise”.

Pelican Yoga has many “cockatoo” posts, most of which feature Forest red-tailed or Carnaby’s black cockatoos.
