Hello All.

Does anyone know whether Gang Gang Cockatoos have been known to catch and eat small mammals or birds etc in the wild, or for that matter, scavenge meat? A friend of mine has just told me of seeing a captive bird eating a mouse (which we assume it was given). Is this a modified behavior or natural? Hanzab mentions insect larvae which is expected but nothing bigger.

Regards

Bob
