Many many moons ago I was out walking through a creek in the bush hunting rabbits for a friend on a Sheep Station ( they were a REAL PEST at the time) when, while standing right under a tree sighting up a shot on a rabbit, I squeezed the trigger and fired only to feel a few seconds later something land on my head with a bit of a thump.
It turned out to be a White Cockatoo, barely covered with its adult feathers and completely stunned.
I picked it up, took it back to camp and then brought it home with me where it became a very great pet/friend whom I named 'Ooops' in honour of its manner of introducing itself to me.
Ooops never learned to fly but she could could certainly walk around the neighbourhood and make her presence know to one and all with comments that would make any sailor blush....LOL.
Now days, after rescuing and rehabilitating a Wedge-tailed Eagle, similar to the one in the photo below, I have her return to my home on fairly regular occasions to cadge a free feed or just to spend time hanging around the house with me, a rescued Sand Goanna, also living in my yard since she has a damaged left rear hind foot and claws, she too is quite friendly and keeps the snails down in the garden.
