A few Double Bars outside the shed this morning...

Woah there's a lot more than a few there I think

a FEW????
great pic- lucky to have so many around you!!

Nows thats a flock. Good shot.

Wow Sam you've got Double bars like I’ve got zebras , cool hey

Yes, heaps around this year for some reason. We've also got a few Red Brows and the odd Zebra or two.

And a flock of Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos - I've counted more than 20 - very cool sound and loping flight. Not great photos - they're frames from a video - and the dog chasing them off doesn't help!

Wow you live in a really beautiful place.

Hey sam we have the black cockies here in hurstville also.Its bizzare theyve made a big come back lately. Wish we had the finches tho! Great pics sam.

top shots Sam....
just where is douglas park anyway.....thought it sounded like western sydney?
i think i see why doublebars are 20-30 dollars per pair!
even though they are not prolific aviary breeders.
the black cockies are brilliant to watch in the wild, but i think thats where they should stay....unless you have a tennis court sized aviary.

Between Menangle and Picton. About an hour or so SW of Sydney (or 3 hours during peak hour!)

I strongly suggest this is even more the case with Red Brows.

And yeah, the Black Cockies are impressive to see in the wild.
