Cockatoos

[Spades]

Hi All,

I feed King parrots,crimson rosellas,eastern rosellas etc in the backyard but the cockies are annoying.

I throw rocks at them and they think it's a game.

Who needs an alarm clock,when you have these noisy buggers!

I'm erring towards a slingshot and shooting corn at them or buy a spud gun.

There are hundreds of cockies around,why aren't they on the menu lol such as kangaroo and croc?

I'll try eating one,one day

Cheers Spades.

They aren't on menus because no one has worked out how to make them taste any good.

If you keep feeding them, they will keep coming.

Should you ever decide to stop feeding them please get advice from NPWS as they can get very vindictive.

If you or any neighbours have exposed timber on your houses they will eat that instead.

The old joke goes that you chuck em in a billy with two rocks and boil for two hours. You then throw out the cockatoos and eat the rocks.


See ya's.

They are destructive. I wouldn't mind if they eat all the crops they destroy, but they don't. They cut whole heads off sunflowers and other crops and leave most behind for the pigs. Then they chew through TV antennas on homes and radio aerials on machinery just for the fun of it.


See ya's.
