Today Courtney had the day off work, so she decided to take Charlotte, Megan and myself for a drive to the hills to visit some wonderful cockatoos, galahs and rosellas that live to be fed here at a local devonshire tea room in the mountain ranges about half an hour from our house. It was a gorgeous day - the forest was green, the surroundings were beautiful and if we had more time we could have gone for a great nature walk.
Here's my new friend. Let me tell you the claws are sharp. He kept sliding off my shoulder and exposing me!?!?! Next time will remember to wear a proper jacket and maybe a scarf!
Even the rosellas were friendly. The cockatoos were absolutely massive and were quite heavy.
Charlotte was not sure at all about these massive birds. All she wanted was a little Rosella but everytime she put her hand out she got a massive cockatoo.
Too close for comfort
Have a look at the face as one of the cockatoos takes flight off her shoulder!
It's all too much and too close!
Finally Charlotte warmed up enough to touch one. He was sitting on my leg and not hers! All in all a great visit was had by all. There was a great tea room attached where we could have had some great scones or some chips. There was also a great picnic area and heaps of walking tracks nearby. We will definately bring the rest of the fam back for a picnic.
