Do You Like My Crown?

An inquisitive sulphur crested cockatoo coming up close to check my camera.

 

Taken on the way to the botanical gardens.

 

These birds are naturally curious, as well as very intelligent.

 

They have learned how to open garbage bins as a source of food.

 

In captivity some will spontaneously dance to music with a variety of unique moves.

 

These birds are very long-lived, and can live upwards of 70 years in captivity, although they only live to about 20–40 years in the wild.

 

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated.
