Parrot paradise
Where the forest meets the sea
And sands signal change

parrot
Hopeful herald
A white feathered friend
Has a lot of news to share
Busy beak; sharp screech

Dawn ceremony
Reverent attendees
honour this dawn, except the
Loudmouth cockatoos
Summer dusk
Cloudless twinkling sky
Cockatoos snuggle to sleep
Scent of eucalypts
Yellow-tailed black cockatoo
Evocative skies
Spread over with mournful cries
Touches of yellow
* By Lisa
Summer morning
Summer stirs awake
A curious cockatoo
Chews the drying wood
Grass parrot
Strutting in the grass
Turquoise bonnet shimmering
Flaunting that red rump

Celebration
I hear corks popping
Gang-gangs invite everyone
To celebrate Spring
***
* fact of the day: in case you didn’t know, the gang-gang cockatoo's call sounds like a cork squeaking out of a bottle. Enjoy listening to it: HERE
