cockies 1: the black cockatoos freak me RIGHT OUT. it's that noise they
make. they freak my chickens out as well.

If they are the big ones with the yellow under the wing, then get to love
them. when they fly over screaming, it's a sure sign of rain. You might
not want it now, but when it gets dry, I bless the sight of those cockies.

cockies 2: i love it when a flock of sulphur-crested cockies is about. i
always say (experimentally) "hello, cocky". you would be _amazed_ at how
often one of them says "hello cocky" back again!!

How many hundred of the filthy brutes would you like? I could probably
arrange a semi trailer load.

On second thoughts, I retract that offer, you are too close. I might send
them to Len instead.
