Cockatoo's are 'powder bearing' birds (hence massive dander)... and require a great deal more care in high humidity areas and often daily 'baths' or it tends to 'cake up' on their skin, and cause irritation. Whereas the Macaws, and African species are 'oil bearing' and it helps insulate them from the humidity... and aren't AS messy or allergy causing (when indoors). Anyhow... boring & off topic, I know. LOL

Here are a couple from Indiana. The Heron walked through my back yard. They sure have big ugly feet. :wink:
I looked up the little yellow guy when I took it but I forgot what he is now. He sure is cute though. :)

Beautiful Bird Pics. Can't wait to catch some of my own with my new camera. Until then here is one of a little warbler who decided to fly into my home. Taken with my cell phone.
