He really isn’t that sad. He got to travel way farther than most of his friends 😉
And my upside is that he is a lot quieter than his real life relatives. A win-win relationship, I think.
Though I must say, having a real cockatoo as a pet would be great 🙂

She wasn’t very frued fly – not aggressive, just aloof. We also had a flash who was great company. I am sure this one is low maintenance!

Oh my, do I know about that… I still bear a scar on a finger after hand feeding a wild crowd of them. Wow, I know that it didn’t mean to hurt me, but it’s beak just cut through my finger like butter. We really need to pay nature respect 🙂

I did, but not in the wild… Australia is a paradise, when it comes to animal life (and people *wink wink*) I am sooooooooo grateful to Life that we got to visit before lockdown. Everyday was an adventure while in Oz 🙂
I hope you’re still well and safe 🙂

All good here in Qld. It is a worry, more down south, where Miriam is.
