@Vandacorp Unlike the sulphur crested cockatoos, these ones aren't jerks.

@StarkRG Ha yep! There's one sulphur that rocks up who is fine then the 30+ others appear and it's a different story.

@Vandacorp I had a sulphur try to drop an unripe pine cone on my head, missed, and hit my shoulder which, while it didn't bruise, was mildly painful the rest of the day. I'm convinced it was intended to be a fatal blow. They're like teenagers, individually they can be fine and possibly even pleasant, but you don't want to be around when they're in a group.

@StarkRG they are a bit too smart for their own good. They know just enough to cause trouble but not quite enough to know why!! Though the other day I did have a currawong lob a dead rat at my feet which I actually think was a thank you for feeding them rather than anything ominous. 😅

@Vandacorp Yeah, in bird culture that's a gift rather than a threat. 😂

@Vandacorp
Do all Australian birds look like they escape from a toy store?

@merileedkarr Haha it's a bit like that. Even something like a butcher bird at times looks like a toy.
