Carnaby's Cockatoo.

[REVEREND]

This fella is on the rare and endangered list. We are lucky enough to have a few come to our place every autumn to feed on our pine tree cones. The little buggers never clean up after themselves though. However I took this pic down on the coast near Yallingup and they were eating the seeds from the prickly pear bush.This one is a male identified by the red eye ring. The second pic is in our pine tree.
