I’ve just been watching a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo in the rain. It was perched in a high gum tree and extended first one wing out, then turned around and extended the other, presumably to get a good soak.
But then it immediately took off. I expected it to come crashing to the ground with the weight of water in its plumage, but it flew on through the heavy rain apparently completely unaffected.
