I heard a consistent familiar call that did not belong in nature!
A plaintive call almost the same as when Australia loses to South Africa in a sporting event, most notably rugby 🤣
This Cockatiel is an Australian bird that has somehow ended up in a cage in South Africa and he decided to make his escape into nature.
So now he ended up high in a tree screaming anxiously that will be sure to draw the predators.
Come and have a look!
It was one of those weird high wind days with icicles in the air that form a halo around the sun!
I found him after tracing his call and he was high up in one of the trees!
A beautiful parrot like bird that many keep as pets!
But what is a Cockatiel?
"The cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus), also known as weiro bird, or quarrion, is a small parrot that is a member of its own branch of the cockatoo family endemic to Australia. They are prized as household pets and companion parrots throughout the world and are relatively easy to breed".

Amazing that the name "hollandicus" appears in the specie name, as one would assume that it's a Dutch bird.
Another look at the icicle halo around the sun!
Here the guy was having a bit of sleepy Sunday serenity!
No way that I could get him, even though we tried.
There was no way that I could get him, even though I whistled and placed a white dish out with parrot seeds below the tree.
So, eventually he flew away and I lost him.
Reminded me of so many things in life.
Amazingly the icicles in the air also formed a halo around the moon!
In life at times, we can see it, some object that we would dearly love to get and we try our very best to get it, but then it disappears.
Has this ever happened to you?
And that's All Friends!
