2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Goffin Cockatoo, Cape Range National Park, Australia
Bird Massage

Species: Goffin Cockatoo | Location: Cape Range National Park, Australia

The sun was starting to set while we were camping in a national park, which meant the birds were really chatty. I heard an unusual noise coming from the trees and upon investigation found one cockatoo giving another a massage! It was loudly vocalizing it's content, which I can only describe as a bird version of cat purr!
