I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

These white birds are beautiful. I like how by just flapping their wings they have doubled (or more) in size. They have given you a wonderful show!
I can't imagine wild cockatoos on your back porch! When we were in Australia we saw then in the zoo! Lovely sepia surrounding the white cockatoos!
Oh I have seen these Australian wild cockatoos and other birds on a nature program once and I can't believe in some parts their population needs to be lessened. Oh I love this photo.
Wow!! That's not a common sight I must say. I'll love to have them as visitors instead of those pigeons that do their poo-poo around my window ledge everyday!!
Wanna trade? *kidding*
You caught it just right with it's wings spread like that! Wonderful sepia!
Oh, how magnificent! I can't imagine seeing wild ones; the way they were meant to be. So beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Every time I see people with WILD cockatoo's it just AMAZES me! You have NO idea how CRAZY that sounds! I'm sure WE must have something going on over on OUR side of the world that just amazes you too -- but cockatoos and macaws that just fly around wild... You are blessed! LOVE the shot!
Wonderful sepia scene - They're so white, even w/ the sepia shading!
Great photo! Love the white surrounded by the sepia tones. Thanks for sharing.
beautiful pair of birds-great in sepia

I can't imagine being able to see these lovely birds in the wild. What a show they put on for you and how lucky for us you had your camera! It looks lovely in sepia.
What a treat to have the cockatoos living free, for them as well as you!
