There were about another dozen or so flying about but they settled in trees further on...
There was one really scraggly "I've-had-a-hard-life" elderly cockatoo. They're pretty revolting birds when they aren't covered up with their white feathers. That's him below, having a stretch. (Actually thought he might cark it up in that tree, but no. *phew*)
I'd welcome them back any time if it wasn't for the noise they make. Sheesh. =P

How amazing to see all these Beautiful Special Birds! I hope you do see them again---and during the day....I would love to see their coloring...!
Ahhh, we used to have 20-odd cockatoos come and visit us every weekend on our balcony in Sydney. Thankfully, Mr Mac and I have awesome powers of sleep and after a couple of weeks we managed to sleep through their racket. They were gorgeous. Frightened the life out of me the first time I saw them, mind. They were HUGE!
Hello, hello.
We have cockatoos in clusters as well, is there a name for that? How about black cockatoos, they're pretty special and I've heard a theory on them from a spiritual associate. I'll need to ask her what that was as I dismissed it at the time but hey, anything is possible as we well know.
What sort of birds did you encounter in the UAE?
Definitely not something we would see here in Philadelphia .
I miss Australian birds.
