Parrots in the Land of Oz: Hello, Palm Cockatoo!

[jrzy49]

They are so cool! We need to protect them

[BlackOfJuly]

Yay, yay, do the cockatoo stomp!

[BlackOfJuly]

I just love the tender sound they make, beautiful contrast to their powerful beaks & physique.

BTW, who had the STUPID idea of dubbing australian english with american english? It's not THAT hard to understand, jeeez!

[TheCarvingman]

i love this bird, but is 16,000 dollars bird =-O lol

[TheCarvingman]

do they scream like the white cockatoo??=-*

[StefyStuff]

If these guys werent endangered, they be the first, and favorite domesticated bird

[sallyblack13]

[darktigerx]

[andyl1231]

1:21 guy "hello" , bird "WHAT?!!" :p

[amblisky]

wow, 90 years!! how the hell do people keep them as pets?? it would have to be passed down a generation or 2...

[Yachtman19]

Gorgeous! I'd love one. Although a Hyacinth is my favorite, unusual, but obtainable parrott. And at $15,000.00 it's about 85K less expensive!!

[aerialfury]

[daphne83]

The Palm Cockatoo is an amazing bird. Queen Victoria had one apparently. I think they do look kinda Goth, don't they. I would so love to have one.  xxxxxx

[MPSecare]

[Gowtham1233]

LOL at 3:18 the bird looks like a singer of some emo band =P

[wizzifloyd]

Yeah, he does. LOL

[mimi2957]

I have decided I don't care enough about HDTV to pay extra, so I am swapping my HD DVR for a regular one. I have this show on my DVR, and I am heartbroken to give it up! It's one of the reasons I didn't swap it months ago.

[Madzarzour]

The pretties parrot there will ever be.

Terri Irwin needs people to sign a petition on the Australia Zoo site to stop mining to save the palm cockatoo and others on the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve. Goes to court 29 th May.Please sign and spread the word if you can.

[shidenblade]

I taped the whole 'Land of parrots' film on ABC last week. NOT DUBBED since it's an Aussie production. (yay!). It's so good! I just adore Palm cockies! (well actually I love all birds, but the Palm cockatoo is so intriguing!)

Breathe deep, seek peace

shiden

[Equinewhispers]

lol @ the american voice over...

awsome birds...

[daintyhyena]

This is especially funny because they have Australian accents when they say "hello". It just kills me! Thanks for posting, "Nature" is awesome!

[MoodyAby]

I love this! Thanks for posting it!

[wildlifeguardian]

This PBS Show was FANTASTIC!!! A MUST-WATCH for all Parrot Owners/Lovers! Amazing to see FLOCKS of some 30,000 Cockatoos! That's how they are supposed to live...NOT in our cages with their wings clipped...

[phillipfallon]

Absolutely awsome birds and video! Thank you for posting it!
