He looks like a Bad Cockatoo? (joke) Are those handcuffs?
Nice Close up, fine details and interesting notes attached. Composition and exposure are right on. Really nice work, thanks for sharing it. Royal

Very interesting shot! I really like hot he is holding onto the peanut -- with his dinosaur-like claws!

Nice focus on the cockatoo... and you only included what was interesting... the peanut-eating.

Good DOF too!

Neat shot of it working on shelling his peanut here Mary. Looks very intent on getting to that peanut inside. Strange he doesn't like kids. Maybe they're too noisy for him. My wife used to try and fly away from our three as soon as I got home from work! "They're yours" she would say and then head off shopping. ha Nice sharp photo of this beautiful bird. Love the blue feathers that look like ripples on a pond along its head and neck. Excellent photo.
