Moluccan Cockatoo, Gorgeous Charley

Charley the beautiful Moluccan Cockatoo, performing for me : ) What a beauty he is! These birds can live to be 70 years old and are very intelligent, and learn to speak.

Peaches sounds lovely too. I bet Charley would like to have Peaches for company there. Last time we were there, we were told that Charley wasn't too well, so we're hoping he's okay, - haven't been there for many months.

Beautiful photo. We knew a lady that had one named Peaches. She would see my son and say, "Hey pretty boy!" She was quite the flirt!

thankyou Shawna for the nice comment, glad you like it. I don't know who was having more fun, me or Charley : ) I hope to get back there again soon, to capture a shot of that Chinese Golden pheasant that eluded me : )

Charley is a great subject! He's beautiful and you captured his personality. He looks fiesty and playful. Great job!
