Gotta love an ornamental pear tree full of #cockatoos in the backyard. Usually raucous but all I could hear was the sound of twigs dropping & a bit of munching. How many can you count?

Cockatoos show appetite for dips when eating bland food, find scientists

Birds observed going to lengths to flavour food, with particular penchant for blueberry-flavoured soy yoghurt dip

Hot tip: Cockatoos like flavoured pasta, not plain pasta. These cockatoos like to dip their pasta in blueberry favoured pasta.

Researchers do not recommend that you serve blueberry yoghurt pasta at home.

The #magpie family were singing for quite a long time & must have made 2 #cockatoos curious, as they flew in too.

One above my head on the roof & one near one of the #magpies on the guttering.

"National Parks and Wildlife Service SA conservation ecologist Katrina Pobke said the loss of habitat through settlement and land clearing had impacted flocks that would have numbered in the hundreds of thousands across southern Australia's woodlands more than 10,000 years ago."
