It's 5:40pm (aest) (Epping,Sydney,Australia) and im typing this whilst watching two sulphur crested cockatoos pull pegs & clothes off my neighbours washing line.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

I was thinking about yelling out the window at them - then thought nah fuck it this is too funny.

[wildlifeguardian]

Now THAT would have made for a great video! ...LOL... :>)

[debbieknd]

I hope one day I will see this in person

JUST BEAUTIFUL

[julieschwabschmidt]

@greenpalaka I agree. i have 3 but I keep their cage open all day. we just keep the door to the room closed so the cat doesn't come in.

[Serkant75]

the government should feed the birds in hard times, i can understand the farmers.

A heaven for us bird lovers!

@mourgozz i have a white parakeet with red eyes :) her name is Snow Flake.

[mourgozz]

@PumaM90 he said me that are some species introducted in florida. He has one text in a brazilian magazine about birds "revista pássaros" that talk about that species how amazona aestiva, nendayus nenday, brotogeris versicolor. search about "revista passaros aves na florida" in google. Thanks! do u have birds?

[mourgozz]

@PumaM90 In USA you have the carduelis tristis, gold finch or american gold finch. He's very beautiful. I know that in Florida has many exotic birds introduced how parrots, macaws and cacatuas. My friend says that have amazona aestiva, brotogeris versicolor, nendayus nenday, gallah... Really???

[mourgozz]

Hi, my name's Pablo and i'm brazilian. Here in my country do not have many parrots how your country. It is amazing see lot parrots and cacatuas in this video. And the colors? The bugerigar (here called periquito australiano). it is amazing!

congratulations to the australian people. This is a treasure that we, brazilians, do not become a reality. We do not have our hyacintin macao, our spix...

[greenpalaka]

LOVE BUDGIES, great pets!!! NEVER CLIP BUDGIES WINGS!, THEY DESERVE TO FLY, EVEN AT A CAGE!

[freddymdight]

@stacysaysrawr101 G'Day mate... some say that cockatoos are louder in captivity than in the wild due to the fact they have a keen "sense" of predators around them (put them in a cage & they no they cant be touched). However its early November (spring in Sydney) & their babies can cry all day long for a feed, the closet sound comparison i can give you is a slowly deflating whoopy cushion. In saying that I've seen flocks of 50+ with Galahs & Correlas mixed in. Hollywood uses this sound in films
