We've had some noisy neighbours lately. Every so often we hear one cocky tell another something and then a whole flock of them gather round at an agreed upon place and start chatting away and having a great family reunion. This time it was in our neighbours tree. Joshua and I went racing outside to see them up close... a very timely treat as Joshua has been studying about birds - their markings, calls, their habitat and the way they fly...
Check out our neighbours:
I think if there is anything we have learned about these cockatoos it is this:
- Cockatoos really know how to communicate to eachother
- They like eating green passionfruit (they came swooping down to our vine last year and dropped the bits they didn't like on the tin patio roof... Womp Womp Womp!
- They are very noisy and lack manners!
- They fight a lot with eachother about which branches are best
- They have favourite types of trees but will all get together to grab fruit when it is at its peak. How do they know that the passionfruit is just the way they like it - and then tell eachother?? - I am just amazed at how God has made creatures with all these little tricks... mind boggling to the non-scientific type mind like mine!
