Some Carnaby's cockatoos decided to hang around the back of our house today.
They brought the rain with them.
They also brought the silly.
They can't help it.
Endangered birds can still be silly.

:) As beautiful as they are, they look completely riotous (which I know is usual for parrots in a group). Heh. I can practically hear the racket!

Very noisy and rackety! But not as bad as rainbow lorikeets or juvenile pink and grey galahs. Carnaby's cockatoos tend to make the most of their racket in flight, and it's an amazing, piercing, 'WEELAH! WEELAH!' sound, that they all make together. It's hard to explain why that's so awesome, but I find it a very inspiring, uplifting sound; as opposed to rainbow lorikeets which are extraordinarily shrill and painful.
