Did you notice how the ducks were throwing their heads back and pointing at the sky with their bills? That's a gesture for flocks to fly common to many species of ducks and geese. It is usually done with a lot of noise, although among some species, it can be done as a silent thing if they feel they are in danger. It's something which is always done by North American Canada geese, along with turning into the wind. Shelducks and even screamers all do it. The behaviour seems to be absent only in the smaller ducks (teals, and shovelers) and the mallard family and their relatives (including the Pacific duck). The behaviour seems only to occur in the Anseriforms.... the family which contains ducks, geese, swans, and screamers.

We have two pet cockatoos and you can just imagine what the inside of the house looks like. My twin brother has SEVEN cockatoos. SEVEN!!!!!!!

Aw, look at the too showing off their crest! I love when they do it after landing, because it's like they are announcing their presence to everyone.

From my perspective as a US-American, you are so lucky to have such a diversity of "cheeky" birds right in your own backyard 🙂

"Pay attention to MEEEE!" - Cockatoo

the human urge to pet everything that moves

Lol, you fed the cockatoo from a protein powder measuring "spoon" (whatever it's called). It's proof you don't just say you lift :D. (I'm joking ofc, there's a small gym in your house and your palms show signs of heavy lifting as I noticed before). And with this, I'm off to the gym, it's arm day (biceps+triceps) today.

Enchanting, as always! 💞

Glad you didn't have to deal with a black cockatoo at that distance those things will strip the flesh from your arm off without a second thought 😂😂

I think I'd rather feed the ducks. Less chance of injury.

3:20 She said that Cockatoos are quite unpredictable. Our friend is being very nice, we all know they are hell birds once learning language they scream and cuss.

Imagine being so used to cockatoos that you are unwilling to risk a finger.

Cute cockatoo.

What a beautiful cocky! It has obviously been to your place before do you think? I mean he must remember you and getting a cheeky free snack!? Please keep making videos of this length with your commentary, I love you voice 😊 I still hold out hope I will see the face behind the voice ❤ Give chooky and great big hug and handful of sunflower seeds 😘

The birds are starting to make plans. Soon you will get more friends wanting seeds.

Weather looks nice there. We had a major snow storm. I found one of my chickens roosting in it. Chickens wont walk in deep snow. I had to break the ice off her and take her inside the hen house. The opening was 15 feet away.

They are usually in a flock. This fella might be an escapee.

So where are all his noisy mates? ❤❤❤ from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺

The ducks are discussing their flight plan before they fly off.

Beautiful birds all rather vocal. and fun ..♡ Have a great weekend ♡

so it does rain in Australia! Even on Fridays 😇

Think the Poolman needs to pay a visit.

Be careful of that cockatoo! Those ducks are beautiful!

sook, its only the first bite that hurts ;p .. still ptsd from pink n grey taking a chunk out of my thumb when i was a wee shit

lol you still sound scared talking to them ;p

That was quite a benign cockatoo, but I'm still gglad you stayed away from the finger pincher!

Cockatoos are really cheeky and cute but yeah, they sure can bite hard and they can be aggressive as well

I fed a cockatoo once next day he showed up at 7am with 20 of his mates

i dare u to poke the cockatoo at some point ehehehe

I once had a cockatoo take my glasses off in a split second. Boy, was I surprised! No damage to glasses or my nose.

Poor pool full of duck crap :(

🦆❤🦆❤️🦆❤️ It must be time to head home from work 👍🏻👍🏻

That noise the ducks make at night is mildly terrifying. I love it, thank you

Very good.

Cockatoo: Stop filming them ducks and feed me

You already got nipped a few times by those crazy cockatoo's. I can see you aren't keen on letting that one get close, and for good reason. *chomp*

😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

You've done it now.!!!.When cocky tells his buddies the hot lady has all the food your going to have a hundred swarming around your property. 🙂✌️

Love the dexterous grab of the cup.

"I think that's enough." *to a Cockatoo* That PhD isn't into the Inherent Sense of Entitlement Exhibited by (certain) Members of the Family Cacatuidae, is it? (Cockatoos, y'know I'm meaning Cockatoos, yeah?) 😄

:D

❤🎵

That is amazing

You live in heaven.

Nice job. They are handsome birds! Nature's artistry in motion.

cockatoo owns it xD
