In their hundreds, in a pine tree,
while trying to find a place for the night
or saying good night to their mates…
the Sulphur Crest Cockatoos are, without doubt,
the noisiest birds I have ever heard.
I have heard the above Corellas at dusk.
However, the numbers that descend on
our patch of the world are noisy enough.
Even a single Sulphur Crest can
make one’s nerves stand on end.
When some Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoos
(commonly known as Black Cockatoos)
first paid the farm a visit, the first I knew was a change
was the when I heard the crunching of acacia tree seeds.
While my contact with Black Cockatoos
would rate them as fairly quiet,
it was what the noise made while the fed
which created the cacophony.
