birding-aus Cockatoo flying styles

[(Syd Curtis)]

As an aside on this theme:

A Sulphur-crested Cockatoo in flight gives me the impression of its' being
the day-time feathered equivalent of a flying-fox (fruit-bat).  I reckon
them to have the same style of flight, but perhaps it's just the relatively
short tail of the S-c C compared to many birds and especially the Black
Cockies.

Any comments?
