Cockatoos

It's pretty cool - sulphur-crested cockatoos are everywhere here! They're almost like pigeons, foraging all over the ground and not very afraid of people. And they're incredibly social, so they form these huge groups. Ben saw this large flock of cockatoos (>100) swirling around the sky, like turkey vultures over a garbage dump (but much, much, much noisier...and prettier).

    Hey Jes! The "Cookie" cockatoos are more in interior Australia - we'll have to go look for one! We do also have a grey and pink cockatoo (the Galah) in Sydney, but they're less common.
