An absolutely beautiful capture of this fine looking bird, Margaret! This is one of the prettiest birds I have ever seen! Very well done piece, and thanks so much for sharing!
Margaret Saheed replied:
Thanks Randy. You can tell the males by their dark brown eyes, whereas the females' eyes are a reddish shade.

Whoa! I've never seen a pink one before. Very cool!
Margaret Saheed replied:
Thanks Carol. When the crest is raised it shows beautiful red and yellow bands of color.

Lyn, thank you for featuring my Pink Cockatoo in your group, Animal and Bird Species.

Beautiful capture and detail of this lovely bird Margaret. Initially I thought he was a Galar. I never see Pink Cockatoos in NSW.
Margaret Saheed replied:
Thanks Kaye. You probably haven't seen them as I believe they are inland, not on the coast.
