A flock came by here once, I remember, they landed in the tall trees down at the creek, stayed for a little while, then flew on. They came more often at the last place we lived at, Bilpin in the Blue Mountains. They are very loud, you can certainly hear them approaching, and they come in flocks of 20 or 30. But all cockies are amusing, not scary.
We call the white ones 'clowns of the bush', they do things like hanging upside down in the rain taking a bath, and bob up and down with their yellow feathered hats. They also chomp off the corn stalks ,and eat tomatoes
, but no matter how hard I have tried to dislike them, I just can't, they are so big and beautiful and funny. What I hate though, is seeing them in little cages
.
The zoo is still there at Hamilton Island, you can have breakfast there.
Oh goody, we get to listen to a bunch of cussin' birds whilst we eat breakfast Sarah!
....Do send that plane ticket dear.

.Wow, it would be like heaven! We would all be so happy to meet each other, we could listen to George 
? Anyone comes up with a pic of one of those, please post it. I keep getting the vision of Hitchcocks, 'The Birds'. 
...Woo-hoo !
