Welcome to this feature, ‘family album’, dedicated to our special friend, Coco the Corella (cacatua tenuirostris) & her antics.
Coco, the Corella, is special. She lives in the neighbourhood, visits each day, & brings along her antics and regular friends.
… bird spirit & sentiments
… from ear-splittingly shouting, to demanding smooches of undying love, or just dramatically flopped over - overcome by the sheer passion of it all
Confused. Really Confused.
