saving the cockies

This picture shows the pink and greys in my backyard!

Seems like ages since I last posted a blog! I recently had the opportunity to go up to the Black Cockatoo rehabilitation centre in the Perth hills.It was agreat day learning how to rescue these comical birds that are being endangered by development.We spent a few hours with the birds which sat snuggling up to our faces so docile and endearing:we learned how to handle them in emergency,feed,etc and had a tour of the facility there which also houses roos (red and grey) a,Dingoes and other wild fowl. I fell instantly in love with the cockies,and vowed to leave a donation to this centre on my passing as it is not funded by any Government office.
