Mischief comes to town

Taken very early one morning when I arrived at my first client's house - these sulphur-crested cockatoos were grazing on the grass verge. They had moved by the time I got my mini-cam out of the boot (trunk). It's not a common sight in suburbia. I had to shoot from a fair distance, so the photo is a bit grainy, unfortunately, because it is cropped so much. They are not afraid, but are wary of humans, so when a neighbourhood lady ventured too close, they flew away. Those beaks can break open brazil nuts, so there is a lot of respect towards them. :D
