 Magic the sulphur crested cockatoo is indeed an amazing bird.  Everyday Magic is let out of his cage, his wings are unclipped and he is free to fly.  And fly he does, all around the farm, high into the 300 year old gumtrees and 100 year old pine trees.  All the time though he has a close eye on Jacqui and he swoops down to see what she is doing and to help her out by sampling the tasty treats at feeding time.  Magic is truly remarkable and we think he has the best of both worlds.  He is clearly bonded to a human, in this instance Jacqui and he gets to spend time with her but he also gets to fly and soar and do all the natural and instictual behaviours that he is meant to do. 

If you would like to sponsor this amazing boy $80 will go towards his favourite treats especially apples and seed bells.

please be mindful that we are not advocating you to let your bird out, any release into the wild needs to be done with the assistance of experts.
