Well, yes Philip -  the only modification was that I did flip one of pictures.  Nearly all cockatoos are said to be ‘left-footed’, but one does occasionally see the odd flipped photo, as with the Gang-gang on the cover of ‘Birds of the Australian High Country’.

 

Personally I believe that it is right-footed birds that hold the food in the left foot.  It is less serious to drop the food than fall out of the tree.

But they are using a different foot. I wouldn't dare ask if either picture has been altered in any way, apart from asking: has one of the pictures been reversed?
