Hi Pete
Great photo, I like the colours of the Toon tree and the plumage of the Cockatoo. Glad I read your note, for a moment I thought you had captured this bird in the wild. :-)

TFS, Martyn

Hi Peter,
Great image.
These Toon trees are interesting.
We had a lot in our garden in the Waikato.
I'd heard that the Chinese use the shoots in cooking and tried eating them. I didn't find the taste too pleasant.
A few weeks ago we had trouble with a neighbourhood dog ripping open our rubbish bags. When the dog ranger came to check it out he gave me some 'skunk shot' which is a synthetic skunk scent to repel dogs.
I recognised the smell straight away and could swear it was the same as Toon leaves.
I wonder if thats what skunks really smell like?
... Interesting,huh?

Destructive little buggas they are Pete. You captured the bird well. Good natural colours and well composed. TFS,
Dave
