Beautiful cockatoo from below....


...And a little closer. Taken at the parrot refuge in Holland.

These two keets of mine sure like to bicker at bedtime. Often they fight over one of the swings, or the chain they seem to like to sleep on (how weird!). This time Sonny won the swing and Angel is behind her pouting (and I just had to sneak a shot). Silly keets.

A beautiful Major Mitchell's Cockatoo, at the parrot refuge in Holland.

When I'm not buggin' them, and when they have an easy way to get around, both birds tend to explore their surroundings. It's pretty funny watching them work their way from one thing (say, a chair back) to another (like, an exercise bike seat, as in this shot). Cute!

Sometimes they see a camera and decide something behind them is suddenly incredibly interesting. (camera? what camera? oooh, is that a wall!? cooooool!)

Well hello down there! One of the many beauties at the parrot refuge in Holland.

She looks huuge! Beautiful Sonny in the sun.
