Ok, as I admitted before, I am becoming a bit of a crazy bird lady. I am only going to reinforce that with the next statement...the birds of the Koala Park are so cool they are getting their own post. Admittedly when we headed to the cockatoo cage I didn't think it would be very exciting. I see them flying around the house every day. While they are pretty they are the noisiest birds I have ever come across. The Koala Park ones were different. They were friendly and chatty. Here is what they could say:
- 'ello
- 'ave a crackah (Interestingly, not "want a cracker" as per Polly)
- bye bye
- There was one who must have been a construction worker in a former life. He would spread his yellow crest like a mohawk, bop his head side to side, and then whistle the perfect "hey baby" whistle (I have no idea how to write that whistle sound).
There was also a corella in the cage who, when you say "shake hands", would stick his claw out and shake your finger.
See what I mean cool birds. Perhaps you had to be there.

Hi Ami,
Don't know if you remember me. I'm Rae-Anne, Mary's sister. We used to play together when we were little. You always had the coolest toys! I remember you as the sweetest little girl.
Mary sent me your page, and I couldn't wait to see what you are up to. Looks like you're doing great.
Take care and have LOTS of fun.

Hi Ami,
I was over to your Aunt Paula's birthday on the weekend and the girls were telling me about your blog. Debbie sent it over to me and I really enjoyed your pictures of Australia. You must have developed some expertise in Photography. Beautiful pictures.
My sister in law sister is in Australia as well. She was formerly from Sherwood, Rhonda and Roma Macdonald. Rhonda is married there with 2 small girls. Not sure where....
Anyway thanks for sharing your experiences with us islanders. Enjoy your time there, they say it is one of the nicest places to be on this earth.
By the way, my name is Debbie Keoughan [Misener]. Paula and I are first cousins and were very close growing up. You would likely remember me if you saw me...
take care and stay safe.
