Description
Merriwagga, NSW, Australia.  We luckily happened upon a group of 20 or so MMC's on our way to Willandra National Park when we stopped for breakfast at Merriwagga (just adjacent to the Black Stump Pub, which has the tallest bar in the southern hemisphere, according to the sign outside - I kid you not!). AKA Pink Cockatoos, most of these gorgeous birds weren't being all that co-operative, but this group were having a bit of fun swinging on branches. They were the only MMC's we saw on our trip (the others in our group got onto them too a couple of days later).
