Morning, Melbourne. Always a privilege to be in the presence of Gang-gang cockatoos. Feeding & breeding habitat destruction sees significant reduction in the numbers. As a result, the gang-gang is now listed as vulnerable in New South Wales. #birds 🦉📷 #wildoz #ozbirds #birdsinbackyards #parrot

Morning, Melbourne! Urban myth: seeing Yellow-tailed black cockatoos = rain. I’m happy to settle for a nice cool breeze TYVM. #birds 🦉📷 #wildoz #ozbirds #birdsinflight #birdsinbackyards #parrot

Afternoon, Melbourne! Late post today: sparring with branded car ‘service’ personnel is draining. Here’s an intensely concentrating cockatoo to brighten your day. #birds 🦉📷 #wildoz #ozbirds #sulphurcrestedcockatoo #birdsinbackyards #birdsinflight

Goodnight, Melbourne. Portrait! #wildoz #ozbirds #yellowtailedblackcockatoo #birdsinbackyards #parrot

A family of 4 Bush Stone-curlews stood together in the shade. When they saw me they immediately went into camouflage mode. The adults sat and the 2 chicks lay close beside them, looking like part of the adult. Great training by their parents! #birdphotography #birds #birding #ausgeo #AustralianBirds

The female Powerful Owl eyes off the male's roost before deciding it's a better option. He, on the right, shuffles off to the side while a passing Noisy Miner catches her attention.
