Why he was angry
Yesterday I posted a Red-tailed Black Cockatoo with its crest raised aggressively. Why was he angry? We think it was probably because he wanted to scare us away from this juvenile that stayed down on the ground and that we came quite near.

Husband just called that dinner's on the table. I'll post the rest and catch up on browsing after I've eaten |=)|
