Ray.Petri I’m full of useless facts  More info Post edited 4 months ago by Ray.Petri. | Nov 05, 2022 01:52 | #3707 nardes wrote in post #19442943 A Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, a large white parrot of Australia. It has a dark grey-black bill, a distinctive sulphur-yellow crest and a yellow wash on the underside of the wings. The female can be separated at close range by its red-brown eye (darker brown in the male). These can be quite noisy and conspicuous birds with loud, raucous calls, both at rest and in flight.  I spotted this one on the ground at Oxley Creek Common, munching on Scotch thistle. The Seeds of Scotch thistle are 4 to 5mm long, grey with dark mottling and are attached to a pappus (parachute) of toothed hairs or bristles up to twice as long as the seed. She seemed to be enjoying herself.

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

It really is iridescent, and often the first thing you see that alerts you that the bird is there in dark forest. Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

nardes Goldmember More info | Nov 06, 2022 00:44 | #3718 The Masked Lapwing is sometimes referred to as the Spur-winged Plover because each of its wings is armed with a yellow spur at the ‘elbow’ (or carpal joint). Indigenous people used to say that the birds were carrying yellow spears. Lapwings use these spurs when diving at potential predators or intruders during breeding season, while chicks are running around or when the eggs are just about to hatch.
