Major Mitchell's |
Sightings
Major Mitchell's Cockatoos have for the first time been spotted by us in the wild on a trip to outback western NSW in March 2008. There were two independent sightings both westward of Brewarrina, in the Darling River floodplains, but no possibilities of taking photos yet. The photos presented below were taken in captivity, with kind permission of the breeder.
