User's notes

The last couple of years, these large cockatoos have discovered the Red-flowering Gum in my front yard, and love to feed on the old gum nuts, also trimming off many small top branches and leaves. One photograph shows them in the nearby park, as a neighbour left their property by car and startled them, they soon returned to the gum in yard. Seemed to be a mixture of males and females.
