Cheers

I haven't seen that either.He doesn't look to wellwink Then again, if you would see me in 46*, I don't look that good either. He could be an old bloke(?) or girl?

When I was young I loved the heat and always looked cooland gorgeous. What year was that? , I can hear you say? To far back, so I hardly remember. As my daughter said the other day, looking at old photos: was that you Mum? O well, in my mind I'm still young and..... what was that again? I forgot.....

Ah, Araminta, the older we get the more our beauty comes from within.

Yes, he did look very hot. Was panting for the full minute or so I was watching him. He was about six metres away and about ten seconds after he flew off another Kooka launched itself from a branch no more than two metres away from me! He had been there the whole time,just so well camouflaged that I hadn't seen him/her. Scared the **** out of me :-)

You get that I was stalking up on a y/t Cockatoo it was so quiet you could hear the leaves under my feet when the one I hadn't seen a metre over my head let out an almighty screech I nearly had a bowel movement and a heart attack at the same time
