@parrotscience - These trees on Mulgoa Road are the biggest concentration of nesting sites for Cockatoos and Corellas this side of the Bluies that I know of. They are also some of the most beautiful, majestic Grey Gum trees left.

Great to see my fellow-friends in the Wild. I was hand reared and once threw out of fright
from sound of Lawn-mover! It took me crying, like almost 3days to try to get home as I did not know how to fly down great heights of Pine-tree tops in Katoomba.
I really love my family and living at home!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Whenever I see them feeding on the side of the road as I drive down Mulgoa Rd, I get the urge to just stop the car, run over and give these sweet birds huge cuddles.
Experience tells me they don't like it. They fly away whenever someone approaches. :(
But, realistically better for them that they avoid humans.

Great shots. We have some long bill corellas and they are so entertaining.
Great video! These are eastern long billed corellas, not western. Eastern have a lot more red in the plumage than western, especially under the throat (as the birds in your video do.)

@carolinemynott Guess that makes much more sense seeing as how I was on the east cost of the country!!
