Gang-gang Cockatoos (Immature female (left) & male) Callocephalon fimbriatum March 3rd, 2018 Yarra Glen, Victoria, Australia Canon EOS 1D X Mark II Canon EF 300mm f2.8L IS USM lens Canon 600EX II-RT flash Found a family of four Gang-gangs feeding on Hawthorn berries together. The parents were feeding in separate bushes, but these siblings were feeding closely together. They were somewhat apprehensive with my presence initially (illustrated here with the young female on the left having her crest raised), but the soft creaking noises of their parents provided reassurance & they soon continued feasting.
