tell from the photo coz my eyesight aint
that great !!
Um....I told you that it was an Umbrella Cockatoo....did you just click
on the picture?
I wrote a whole bunch about her, what she does and what she says.
Here is the post. You must have not read it. ;)

Scroll down to the end after reading what you first missed...
The most common phrases taught to
talking birds in Oz
Polly want a cracker ?
Who the F&@# is Polly? Get that cracker outa my face....I WANT GOOSE
PATE ON RITZ CRACKERS!
(I'd like to teach her to respond in that way when asked that) ;)
Hello Cocky ?
Whose a pretty bird then ?
How about...."I can talk...can you fly?"
Have U heard of any of the above
phrases (they may be uniquely Oz for all
I know) ;-)
You know me...... I try to teach her things that nobody elses bird says.
Unique things.
Anyway, I like it when they bob their little
heads back and forth and go:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah,
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
in that high pitched squawk ;-)
We have one roaming loose in the street
behind us and it does that just before
dinnertime (about 5 in the arvo)
You have one running loose? MY GAWD! Isn't that dangerous to the wood
frame houses?
Luv & Best.........
Uncle Wally ;-)
CONGRATULATIONS!
If you are reading this then you have completed the task. :)
Task completed ;-)
Umbrella cocky !!! Not sulphur-crested (realized that upon closer
inspection of photo)
It is not uncommon to see lots of cockies in the wild (U should hear
the screcching sound they make when they do it in unison)
Yeppers we Aussies have the lot !!! Crows, Magpies (do U have those
?!?), Ccokies and Butcher birds (yes Butcher l-)
No marsupials yet -- though I have seen an owl on the footpath when I
was walking in the outer east of Melbourne ;-) - didn't fly away or
anything == just stood there dumbfounded as I walked past it (although
most critters would be dumbfounded by Uncle Wally anyway)
yes siree yes indeedy do !!!
I love wildlife -- better that than screaming kids around the house
;-)
Best..........
Uncle Wally
