Cockatoo mayhem

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Wow, they certainly are being tossed around. Great shot.
Incredible photo.
Very interesting shot.
Crazy! It barely looks like birds.
It still amazes me that cockatoos are wild in Melbourne! Yes, I know they have to be wild somewhere...but they seem so tropical to me. :)
That is pretty I thought it's clothings that are blown by the wind. ^_^ Happy Sunday!
