Meet Cocky

Meet Cocky · 08:56 PM

This is Cocky, he's a Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo. He was given to my Grandmother in the early 1960s, so he's almost ready to draw a pension.

The way he says Hello Cocky or Scratch Cocky is very charming..............

and no doubt has helped him build his impressive tally of bitten fingers over the years.

All taken with my K10d and Pentax F 50mm 1.7

C & C Welcome

Nice shots Mike. Just t let you know my wife's Grandmother had a Sulphur-crested and it lived in excess of 100 years. They are renowned for a VERY long life.

My Grandmother used to joke that Cocky would probably outlive her, turned out she was right!
