I found a Red-Tailed Cockatoo hanging out with the Gang-gangs. Being in Royal Park, I assumed it was from the Melbourne Zoo. Asked the zoo and spoke to atleast 4 members of the crew. They checked and said that all their birds are accounted for. It might be a pet I don't know. But its here <3 #BirdPhotography #BirdsofAustralia #BirdsofFediverse #FediBirds #Photography #Wildlife #BirdsofPixelfed #BirdsofMastodon #AustralianBirds #BirdWatching #Fedibird #birdbot #Birding #darktable

@crimsonbutterfly I saw a pair of Major Mitchell cocktails today, right up close, maybe 3m. They didn't seem too concerned about me. Beautiful birds. Big, too!

[Edit: Not Major Mitchells - yellow-tailed black cockatoos.]

@[email protected] pink cockatoos are great
@crimsonbutterfly Oops, my mistake, they weren't Major Mitchells, they were yellow-tailed black cockatoos. Still beautiful, and still big, but definitely not pink! :-)
@[email protected] Aha! Yellow-tailed are amazing. Hope you enjoyed the mournful wails 🤣 They sound so sad all the time
