Hi Ving,

Great photo's. It always amazes me how beautiful something as common as a cockatoo can look, if the right person is holding the camera. Your shots are so crisp and vibrant. well done!!!

I guess if you have grown up with the noisy critters it might be different, but I have been quite captivated with viewing the Aussie birds since I've moved here.

...but then again, maybe the sight of a grey squirrel might fascinate some of you blokes too (as it did my Aussie wife a few years ago)!
