Beautiful bird.
How nice of him to keep an eye on your chickens for you. 
Great capture ivmerton ..... I wouldnt let your chickens out to play with him though
I had one in my backyard a few years ago and I was wondering why all the neighbourhood birds were going berserk over what I thought from a distance was a cockatoo ...ha ha ..... on investigation I saw differently. I was told that when they sit like that even when they are under attack it is usually because they have a full crop and are digesting a nice meal ... better count your chicken

Yes that is its back, with head turned round.
Birdie, I also thought cocky or corella (we get plenty of both) until I had a better look. And your theory of the full crop makes sense. Although it is spectacular I wanted it to move on, and it was remarkably reluctant. All chooks accounted for though.
Good to hear
They are a very pretty BOP .... so long as they leave your chickens alone!!! lol
