Pic by Gemma Wiseman~ Here is an unusual shot of a wild cockatoo on my verandah railing in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula
This particular cockatoo is a regular visitor.
We nickname him Gammy because he has a broken wing.
On this particular day it was raining.
What you see is his broken wing stretched out before he takes flight.

He may have a handicap
But still he can fly

Odd he can fly with that broken wing. But I have a duck who walks on a damaged "paddle" (coon I think)and seems not to notice the difference. Nature goes on . . .
He's a beautiful bird. I'm glad that he can still fly. Great shots of him.
I was going to ask if he can still fly. It must be wonderful to be like him and be free as opposed to being in a cage..Do you feed in anything? Lovely post for Nature Notes, but you have so many posts that are showing Mother Nature....Michelle
I too am relieved to know he can still fly. It must be amazing to see birds like that in the wild. We only see those in pet stores.
