Cormorants-I Love Them.
Thank you 
Little Pied Cormorant.
There are a few varieties of Cormorant but this post is about The Little Pied Cormorant.
Pied cormorants are common Australian waterbirds. They are characterized by their white underbellies and black feathers on the top.
The Little Pied Cormorant resembles the Pied Cormorant Phalacrocorax Varius but is much smaller with a predominantly shorter bill. Cormorants are found in both fresh and salt water areas and are often seen in large flocks along the coast and in waterways where there is plenty of fish to feed on.
Their diet consists of a wide variety of aquatic animals from insects to fish and they love freshwater yabbies and shrimps. They breed in colonies, or less commonly, in single pairs and use sticks to build their nests which are placed in trees and then they line the nests with green leaves. Both male and female cormorants share the responsibility of egg incubation and caring for their young.
This cheeky pied cormorant lives at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in Queensland, Australia. He was injured but the staff at the wildlife hospital nursed him back to health.
He was released into the wild but knows the daily pelican feeding time and flies in for a free feed most days.
It was a pleasure to watch the interaction between the cormorant and its rescuer.
THANK YOU FOR VIEWING. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
