Hi everyone my name is Yindi and we decided to pay Stormcloud another visit yesterday.
Yindi is an aboriginal word that when translated means "The Sun". I was given this name because of yellow tail and cheek patches.
We found Stormcloud walking along the creek early yesterday morning and it was a cold and foggy start to the day.
All the YTB2s, GSC2s, Corellas, Galahs, King Parrots, Crimson and Eastern Rosellas come here to the creek bank to eat the mineral rich clay just like macaws in South America do.
Note the muddy beaks on our white GSC2 cousins above.
Then it was time go and gather up all the crew and fly off to our next destination.
Which happened to be the big snow gum (eucalyptus) not 10 metres away from Stormcloud's front door.
But it can get quite tricky for large birds like us to navigate through the foliage to find a suitable branch to perch on.
And after all that hard work it was time for a good old communal preening session.
