Wild Cockatoos of Canberra

I always thought that Cockatoos were exotic rare equatorial birds. I didn’t know that they are almost the equivalent of pigeons down here in Australia. And though the scale size doesn’t translate well, these animals are much bigger than anything I see in pet stores back home. They tend to flock at sunset, and according to some of the folks I’ve worked with this week, they are kinda destructive too, and will gnaw off antennas from your car to sharpen their beaks.
