cockatiel

This is a a small part of a little flock of Cockatiels that came in to the dam. I've extracted a section that shows various flight poses etc. There's a male at the back, the one with a white head.

At last I found a picture of a male Cockatiel to show you. When the flock came in most settled in the tree on the opposite side of the dam from where we were sitting.

I watched a little flock of Cockatiels fly in. They settled on the water's edge, but not very close unfortunately. This is a female. How lovely it was to see them in the wild.

Three Cockatiels flew down for a drink, a male with two females. Such pretty wee birds and so lovely to see them in the wild too.

Cockatiel

Delighted to see a flock of Cockatiels - they are quite nomadic and you have to be in the right place at the right time.

Cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) Male, species sexually dimorphic. This new boy in town has been calling Research Park home for a few weeks now. At least that is when I first saw it out there. Its not the friendliest chap but I did manage a few pictures. Open post oak savannah with several...

"Painted Ladies" is an old, casual "aussie" nickname. -Amazing to find them still sitting the wire between the same two electrical poles where I saw them twenty years ago.

Male Cockatiel, these are wonderful birds many love as pets. I used to have some myself even.

Thanks to our dear friend Tom Tarrant we did manage to see them in our last birding day in Downunder.
