cockatoos
I saw just three of this rare cockatoos. They were high in tree and my camera unfortunately can’t zoom them properly. They had red feathers on tail. If I could post video then you will also hear them and recognize their cries “Karee”, “Karrak” or “Krar-raak”

Juvenille bird with 2 adult birds. The upper mandible is clearly damaged/deformed and has visited before.
Seen & heard 4 birds
Our visitors were back again at the protea by our verandah. Started with 2 birds then 2 more joined in the fun. Unfortunately they weren't co-operating for their photos. Even though photos don't confirm Carnaby's I did have a very clear view of this birds bill and it was most definitely a Carnaby.
Maybe 3 - 5 birds?
