AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

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)

Cockatoos in the Rain


Mosaic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A gathering of wild cockatoos weathering the rain on my verandah railing in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula

What beautiful birds. They seem to be hunkering down to stay warm in their fluffy feathers. Great photos!

How wonderful and unusual for someone to have wild cockatoos gathering in your yard - up here in Canada and the US (and I daresay most other places in the world) they cost a LOT of money and are treated as exotic pets!

Great mosaic!

They are so adorable! I would love to have wild Cockatoos in my yard instead of big black crows who are mean to all of the other birds!
