Thanks so much for posting Amandajay! Quite informative and educational!

Those pictures are incredible. Never knew Cockatoos dug holes! So sad about the one baby and I was quite shocked as I was completely unprepared!

What a heartwarming "love" story! Such a smart bird - to open that so-called "tamper proof" door! LOL

What a treat to see them free in the "wild" so to speak!

That is a great story.
I've got to meet quite a few cockatoos while working at the avian clinic and I fell in love with those guys. They are so intelligent, sweet and sensitive. They have such expressive eyes.

Thank you for posting this lovely story.

Hi mr squeaks, Reti, and Trees Gray, glad you enjoyed the story. They are definitely very sweet birds, so intelligent and soulful. I never knew they dug holes either, or spent so much time on the ground!

Hi Amandajay,

I really enjoyed this story of two cockatoos as well...wonderful pictures, good and some sad moments too.

I also didn't know that they dug holes, very weird, lol These birds are so beautiful to look at, I love the size of them and they are so intelligent.

Thanks for posting this

It WAS...BadBrad escaped into space, which is fine. Since he's IN outer space, he's right at home!
