So awesome!
When we were in Perth a few years back I learned about how destructive a flock of too's could be to a tree....I'd seen it with my own eyes at home, but only ever with one! It was an impressive feat!

Walking in to work I have had branches and pine cones drop from tread as hundreds of black cockatoos start stripping the trees down for food. And outdoor play sets like swings are prime places for shredding...

close to London. I'm actually around the corner from where the main grouping of them were believed to have been released. I can hear them in the trees around my home. I want to try and get some pictures of them at some point

Driving though Fremantle and the park was full. Still waiting for my new galah to be hatched (possibly even laid)... but having lots of parrots and cockatoos about the place keeps us all going :)

I'd love to visit a park filled with Toos or look out a window and see a flock of Toos on a lawn. Wonderful photos, thank you for sharing.

We get mainly rosellas here, some toos and galahs...the occasional black cocky. Its so weird to see massive free flocks here when, back home in Canada, people pay 1500 for a sulphur crested cockatoo

The strangest thing about Australia is that there are no ‘normal’ sounding birds... nothing tweets like in the UK all sqwaks or other odd sounds :)

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Love those pics! So amazing to see flocks of parrots in the wild compared with much of the world where they are rare and captive!!
