Wow, it is one thing to hear your own voice on video but another to have to listen to your bird voice, which is even more annoying than a baby and pet voice. Ha! Sorry about that in advance.
In case you guys don't know, a few days after arriving in Sydney we noticed cockatoos on the balconies across the street from ours. Shortly after adding a bird seed treat to a plant on the balcony, I looked up from working at my computer to see not one but three cockatoos having a go at the treat. Within a few minutes seven cockatoos arrived. I was REALLY excited to meet these guys and have since become a twice daily stop for them. Usually it's just two or three of the same cockatoos, but sometime all seven to nine show up. I prefer when only a couple come as they are easier to manage. They are all really cool. They eat out of your hands and a couple of the same ones insist on sitting on my arm to eat. We also have a couple lorikeets (small rainbow parrots) that come through every now and then. They are very sweet too, and like to sit on the bowl of food when I hold it out for them. I have video and photos of all of this, but will add the video of my first encounter with the cockatoos here. Here is a wikipedia link with info about the Sulpher-crested cockatoos.

Amazing how tame they seem for "wild" birds..
