A dawn cockie · **4 Likes**

This noisy little " monster " was camped outside the bedroom window right at dawn. As soon as the Sun's 1st rays hit him / her, it started squawking and woke up the whole street. Glad it woke me though as I would have missed this photo op otherwise. Thanks for taking a look.

They're just as noisy indoors - we have two in the house.....24/7

Larger than I thought he would be. Hope he doesn't move in on you.

Very nice. Quite a handsome subject.

You have these in the wild there?

Only ever seen them in cages here.

C_Jones · 05-01-2016, 09:38 AM

Your ear plug bill must enormous each month !!!

You must have very good neighbours too.

They are a very solid bird Susan, probably a little bigger than your crows in height, but double the weight.

Thanks DW58. They can live to be 100 years old. So as pets, they can be handed down the generations.

In the wild Kerrowdown, their flocks can be a 1000 strong. Around the cities the average would be between 20 to 50. They are very destructive to crops and they love chewing Red Cedar window frames !!!

He looks very smug at waking you up.

I knew an enslaved one of these guys once. He had a much better attitude than the peach faced love bird the people had later.

Looks like he was right in your lens! Great!

They are very attractive in person. They are 1 of the few pets that you can get as a small child and still have with you at the retirement home !!!
