Saw this young sulphur crested cockatoo resting in the eucalypt outside my apartment.
Good to have the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 back on the camera again.

Yeah he was resting in between ripping chunks of bark off the tree and screeching for his parents which were sitting higher up in the tree, just out of frame.

It is nice to have a wide variety of bird life, but not so much when the decide to wake you up screeching at 4am :)

And thanks for compliments.
