An unexpected visitor

The crunching of the branches indicated that there was a large visitor in the tree.  Was a new cat in the neighbourhood exploring, or just one of ours trying to catch a bird.  When I saw a large parrot, I couldn't quite believe it. A kaka in the back yard! 

I am fascinated by the yellow cheek (just like a cockietiel)

 

Later in the day, the Kaka returned, and spent some time pruning the trees near Erik's office.  We all got the chance for a closer look.
