Steve Potter, Keep away from my babies !! (SINGLE SHOT 2022)

This Sulphur Crested Cockatoo was trying to threaten two Laughing Kookaburras by making itself appear larger by extending those awesome wings. The Kookaburras were too close to the Cockatoo's nest, and I can only imagine what they were saying. The Cockatoo won the argument, and the kookaburras flew away soon after. Photograph taken in The Royal National Park, Sydney in the early morning.
