Palm Cockatoo drumming.

This is amazing to watch how the Palm Cockatoo uses a stick to beat it to appease his mate with a nest hole in a tree. Not to mention they are super gorgeous birds!!:th_heart:

I've seen this before and am always amazed! When Amigo, not a Palm Cockatoo obviously, started to build his hole in the oak tree, I knew he was hoping to attract a mate. He spent hours and hours, days upon days working on this hole. I felt so sorry for him when he started to cruise around calling for another bird to come check out his nest :(. No one came but me and he's finally settled on me, my poor bubbers.

Well Mare, did he make the nest hole large enough for you to get in & try it out? :th_LOL:

I'm sure that was a very big letdown for poor Amigo. Wonder what he would have done if he'd attracted a woodpecker female or some other nest hole dwelling bird? Good thing he had you to sooth him.:th_hug8:

That was so interesting! Such smart birds. Beautiful too.

Poor Amigo.

Well, De', I know for a fact, that I could never haul my big butt up that tree to even check to see if it would fit!
The Palm Cockatoo IS a gorgeous bird, isn't it? It always amazes me how such big birds can crawl into those 'not so big' holes and not come out having their feathers a mess! Amigo backs into his hole if he's going down for a nap, otherwise, it's head first, that would be while he's fine tuning his interior walls.
