12th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A Red Tailed Cockatoo In Far North Queensland Australia Billabong Sanctuary Giving our school group some attitude.

When visiting the Billabong Sanctuary in Townsville North Queensland Australia this Black cockatoo showed off to our school group pulling bark off the tree and displaying it's magnificent feathers . The Cockatoo is a resident of the Sanctuary and is free to come and go as it pleases. I also have fantastic video footage of it entertaining the children in the class.
