Interesting Ryu, a Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo was regularly seen in the local area including my GBS site in Chapman between May 2004 and August 2008, except for a break of 20 months between Oct 2005 and June 2007. It was
often overhead in the company of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos and Corellas, including on their roost flights between Canberra and the Murrumbidgee, but it also often stopped on the wires etc.
It was also seen in other suburbs, but it was never as tame as this one
appears to be from the descriptions in Canberra Nature Map.

While quite possibly an escapee, some subscribers may be interested to know that one was reported from a playground near Temple Tce in Denman Prospect on Canberra Nature Map yesterday afternoon.
