Bird of the Week: 21st January - crests

Howdy everyone 

Some lovely photos last week - I hope everyone survived the heat. Friday was horrendous for NSW residents, I have never felt anything like that heat and was very grateful for my air conditioner!

This week lets go with the theme of 'crests'. Show me your crest-themed photos.

My lordy, people, these photos are rippers.  I was looking down at the keyboard and suddenly looked up to be CONFRONTED by the Corella above which on my wide screen made him a whopper.

Little Corella, more Galahs (baby harassing parents for food) and a Red Tailed Black Cockatoo.

Roly, I can only imagine how much you miss her.  For some reason, our pets find a place in our hearts and lives that nothing else can fulfull.
