Don't be fooled
by the "smile" on this Red-tailed Black Cockatoo. That raised crest shows an angry bird. This was the closest I got, then we all stepped back away and he calmed down. I'll show you tomorrow why he was so upset about us getting close ... and then we'll move on to Aug 20. Oh, and yes, this was another lifer that day.
