Wow, those were in-the-wild cockatoos. Wonder if you could friend them and they would be regular visitors?

 

Yes, indeed. I spent 3 weeks in Australia and I did meet a few people I knew from business dealings that kept local Too's some food items out on their balconies or porches. They are fearless of people for the most part.

My wife is from Australia. I've been 3-4 times now. They seem to call all cockatoos "galars" whether it's the rose-breasted or not. Her sister who still lives there caught a Lorikeet. She had it for several years and then accidentally let it out. She's the one who incidentally let Greycie out when she came for a visit several months ago. I was impressed with all the colorful birds they have there. Ours are sort of grrey and colorless here (don't tell Greycie I said that). My mother-in-law lives in an area where there are a lot of kookaburras doing their calls all the time. It's sort of surreal when you first get there.

 

What else did I do while I was there - got out of the rental car and chased a goanna down the middle of the road. Shows you how smart I am sometimes. He was sort of cute like this one:
