Macadamias are tough nuts to crack so the beaks of these cockies must be incredibly strong. Happily, I was never bitten when I did rehabilitation work with them. It's great to see them up close in the wilds - even the wilds of suburban Kelmscott.

Carnaby's Cockatoos in Kelmscott
One of our neighbours has some macadamia trees that seem to be untended except for the annual attentions of a small flock of the endangered, endemic Carnaby's Cockatoos. Yesterday I chanced on them having a feast of these bush nuts for their breakfast.
