I was fascinated watching hundreds of cockatiels wheeling and turning in big circles settling on the nearby trees, taking off again in huge flocks until they found their roosting place.(I have left the pictures fairly big, so please click and scroll to see the impact of the birds.)

Very interesting shots
Titania, those are beautiful photos. I immediately enlarged them, even before I read what you had written. I can't imagine having so many cockatiels flying free.
Great shots!Very nice photo´s of skies!Have a nice weekend!
Fantastic sky full of birds.
Sydney - City and Suburbs

Great pictures of the birds. Seems quite exotic to me to have cockatiel flocks flying around the neighborhood.
What a cool sighting, I would love to see these birds. Great photo for skywatch.
Wow! what a beautiful sight! I wonder how it sounds? Amazing!

A beautiful photo, and the birds are a wonderful contrast to the tree.
Trudi, wonderful to see your gorgeous Aussie birds! I miss them. You have such a fantastic variety. My mum fed so many of them and enjoyed them immensely.
I enlarged the photos. Amazing!
I've been enjoying large numbers of birds flying around, too. Great shots!
So many birds in the sky at one time... it's wonderful! I can't recall if I have seen this in real :-)
Hallo Titania,
vergrößert wirken die Bilder ungeheuer spannend und dramatisch - auch ich beobachte immer sehr gerne einen Vogelschwarm, Stare sind es bei uns oder im Winter auch Finken...
Liebe Grüße
Ingrid
Nice pictures you have. I like them.
Wonderful photos especially when are enlarged! The birds look lovely in the air and also the light i great!
Fantastic, especially enlarged! Thank you Titania!
Beautiful shots, Titania. I particularly like the small stand of trees in the first one.
I imagine it would have been extremely noisy as they jostled for position!
Your photos are wonderful! The light is perfect and the birds are a wonder.

Gosh the enlarged pic is great. So many birds cluttering the sky.
Great "birdy" sky, Nice shots, thanks for sharing
Wonderful photos - amazing to think that cockatiels fly free where you are, rather than being caged birds.
Often I don't look at the photos in their larger format, but those birds were well worth it!
I love your Sky Watch photos and these shots are wonderful! Enlarged them...oh, to see that many birds at one time! So pretty!
Fantastisch liebe Titania! So viele Vögel auf einmal gibt es hier in der Stadt nicht zu sehen. Ja vielleicht im Winter die Möwen.
Liebe Grüsse und guten Wochenstart morgen

I love the sky watch pictures you post! Have a great week, Andrea
Hi Tatania,
I was thinking of you when I went to Muriwai and saw your Australian gannets here. May be you cockatiels want to be like the gannets, and come here to roost.
I went yesterday, and saw these beautiful Aussie birds. haven't down loaded the photos, but you can see some from an older posts.

Wonderful photos. Usually when I see a good shot like that my camera is nowhere in sight. Great shot, Titania.
Wonderful birds and sky photo!
Titania, I have given you an Honest Scrap Award on my blog, and would like to have you participate, if you have the time. I understand if you cannot. Simply blame James as he did it to me, so I'm playing it forward. ;)
The best and one of a kind of heavenly scenery. Let's put it this way, they are Angels in disguise appearing in the sky as birds. Don't you think so?
Marvelous sight on high!
These are adoring and noisy birds aren't they....but heard they are considered pests somepart of the country.
Hi Titania, i haven't visited you for quite a while. I absolutely love the pics and words about your great trip - I am hoping to visit those places one day, in the meantime happy to do it through your eyes. I have awarded you the truth scrap award. Cheers, catmint
I have read and enjoyed all your kind and thoughtful comments. Thank you!
Beautiful shots and clouds, but the birds are Little Corellas. I reared one from a totally naked chick.
