Following my previous post, by coincidence I saw 20 YT Black Cockatoos
yesterday evening flying west over Curtin. Soon after they passed
one more appeared calling loudly and flying in the most erratic
manner. Changes of direction, often getting caught in the wind
drift and having to correct by struggling upstream, all over the shop and
with a wing action that was even more
lackadaisical than usual. It was
quite strange; the bird was well separated from the others by maybe 20
seconds but definitely trying to keep up with them, and certainly flying
oddly. I was wondering if it was intoxicated by something as I have
read happens.
