  • This video of the Sulphur Crested cockatoo is all filmed in the wild. There is footage that demonstrates the cockatoos can feed of nectar like other nectivorous birds but in so doing amputate the eucalypt sprigs.
    Though seed eaters they spend a disproportionate time chasing bulbous roots.

    My sulphur is almost entirely silent. She is a quiet 6 year old soul, that one in a million bird who is just a perfect pet. Doesn't bite, doesn't scream, nothing. Almost always in a good mood, hasn't put a hole in me for a decade or more lol 😂

      Well I buy battery chooks that way at my old address my Barry Edward Hoyes and I we built this fabulous chook house that everyone thought was a cubby house. When it was finished we invited a few people to the party from next door but they didn't really know me well and they left town.the kids built their cubby house in a Hicks mulberry tree mulberry beats boysenberry any day. I gave the kids white sand and a metal digger.

      A quick post script- the dominant behaviour you were observing was probably between a mated pair. The female was actually inviting the male (i think- you know how hard it is to determine their gender) to eat something tasty and the guy decided to be a jerk about it... :)

    I have one sitting on my knee right now, he was a rescue. We try and get him out as much as we could and spend time with him but I also want to try and build him a close to nature enclosure for him to roam. The only difficulty with getting it close to his natural habitat is that he will be sharing it with another rescue who is an Amazon parrot. I think their environments are a little different but they are friends.

      I think it was an ibis, commonly called a bin chicken or rats of the sky. They were common in remote, drier areas, then one drought they found the wetter coast coastal areas with garbage bins, whee they "hunt". And it seems they are now here to stay. Big white bird with a long curved beak.

    Lovely birds! Big fan. Sucks the fact that in order to get the pollen they would rip out the flowers and toss them. It doesn't seem to cross their mind that they can like...lick them as they are. Unless there is a comodity issue going on. Or related to balance to prevent a fall trying to get one. God knows. I haven't slept in days because of this.

    • @plumesofoz
      @plumesofoz  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. Interesting thought. The flowers are always on fine twigs and the smaller birds like lorikeets can lick without the branches bending but the big cockatoos cannot cope with this. Especially if the wind blows preferring hand to bill coordination but I agree they could pull down a flower twig then lick.
