The King Parrots are gentler, shyer birds who will eat food from your hand. They visit each day and call out as soon as they arrive.
They gather on the bbq and wait – they sing and appear to “stare” at you till food is produced. Their feathers really are magnificent in color and seemingly different on each bird.
These birds have yellow patches on their cheeks – and we prefer to call them the Yellow Cheeked Black Cockatoo as it is very distinctive and makes them look a bit like a clown.
They are very noisy eaters of native trees which have nuts or berries and screech to each other. Large and almost hawk like in size they are a favourite at Uccello Lane as they travel in packs and swoop then fly of to the distance.
