A colleague here at Flinders University was walking in the Sturt Gorge in
the southern suburbs of Adelaide on the weekend. As she approached a huge
river Redgum, a veritable apartment block for various birds, she noticed a
very agitated Sulphur-crested Cockatoo on one of the branches, flapping his
wings and calling very loudly. Suddenly he vitually dive bombed into a
hollow in the truck, then reappeared with a duck (I guess it was a Wood
Duck) in his claws, carried it over to the river and unceremoniously dropped
it in!
She said you really had to be there to appreciate how comical it was - not
for the duck though.
Cheers
Chris
