13yr. old male umbrella cockatoo,
we call him Amigo!
7yr. old Goffin cockatoo, she IS Sassy!!
I've never seen this before. My husband and I are sitting on our deck, sun getting ready to go down, Amigo in my lap, my husband points out this red-tail hawk floating above the valley below our house. I just got down posting photos, not there yet with videos.
My God! There was a good breeze going on and this bird truly knows how to ride it! He/she would hover, like a star, so still that you would never even guess it was a bird! She would then float to another area and do the same thing. She came up closer to the house and we could see that her tail feathers were her rudder, in the breeze. Very impressive! I kept Amigo close to me at that point. Although, I know that he probably experiences this daily.
