Crazy for Cockatoos

We went to the beach this weekend and were completely enamored with all the beautiful birds. We put seed out on the deck and at one point had 22 cockatoos and 5 parrots.
The birds almost look majestic with the sunlight shining through their feathers.
A Kookaburra even came to say hello. He made us a little nervous with his big beak.
Mr. Cockatoo and our little 2000 Toyota Corolla hatchback. It is the best driving around the city and squeezing into tiny parking spaces. Now that I think about it, all the parking spaces here are miniture! One would not want to drive around an American size SUV here.
The boys enjoyed getting the parrots to eat out of their hands.

This cockatoo was especially clever and opened the tin of birdseed! We enjoyed watching him so much that we shooed him away and repeated the process several times!
Ooh delicious! I just love those sunflower seeds.
Kids enjoyed searching for creatures in the tide pools.
We saw this adorable Koala along the road. Makes you want to give him a good cuddle, until you see him use his very sharp claws to climb up the tree.
