That would be so awesome Crow. When I worked in South America I would see flocks of giant Amazon parrots flying over my camp.

I think I saw that breed of parrot in a pet store recently. Do you have cockatoos in your part of Australia?

Yes. Cockatoos are widespread, although only the white variant live in semi-urban areas. Black cockatoos only live in the bush. Some are very rare, and seeing a pair (they are always in pairs) in the outback is a real excitement. They aren't rare, but infrequent.Quote from: "Mr Crowley"
Black cockatoos? I didn't know. Isn't affirmative action a wonderful thing.

We have one that nests nearby, and the first time I saw it, I thought it was a B52 doing a low pass. His wingspan was at least a metre!!!
Actually, I'll snap a white in the next day or so and show you.

What about the front of your house? Don't you have any fun song birds in the bushes there?Quote from: "RW"
Its the side of the house that gives out to the open fields, where the birds frolic, fly and fornicate. The front opens out to the road. Birds generally don't hang out on the roadway.
Australian birds like trees.
They're funny that way.

Mail it to you?
This is the list of birds that can be legally exported;
Sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita)
Galah (Eolophus roseicapillus)
Little corella (Cacatua sanguinea)
Long-billed corella (Cacatua tenuirostris)
Cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus)
Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus).
The rainbow lorikeet doesn't get a mention.
And either way, I don't have a licence.
Also, I have no idea how to safely catch one. They are fast little fuckas.

How about you just smarten up and leave it alone. Send him the fucking cub. In fact throw in the mother bear too. He'll get everything he is asking for and more when he opens the crate.
If that idiot Steve Irwin was any indication of how an Aussie handles dangerous wild animals, my only regret is I won't be there to film his final moments.

Well he'll have to wait until spring because the bears are hibernating. Actually, before they wake up would be a good time to klepto a baby.
