Ah, the Aussie gangster - soon it will be "feed us MORE or we will chew
your house down". ;)
We get the red-tailed black cockatoos near us (I see them in the trees
over the road, or, while we're walking the dogs, tearing up banksias
above us on Noosa Spit). I don't know if they have a similar
predilection for house-chewing though.
I really should take some photos. I've one around her somewhere of a
scrub turkey being territorial (they're not fond of dogs), but, well,
they're not real attractive buggers (bit of red and yellow on the necks
to spruce 'em up a bit, but that's about all). I even took it with an
Oly (770SW).
