Join us on an extraordinary journey as we follow the remarkable story of a one-legged female Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo who defied all odds with incredible resilience in the competitive world of backyard birds. Experience her unwavering determination as she faces challenges head-on, navigating through a bustling bird community.

What makes her journey even more inspiring is the fact that she’s no stranger to our backyard. This same one-legged Cockatoo visited us nearly a year ago, demonstrating her remarkable resilience and adaptability. You can watch her previous visit in these two videos:

  1. This was heartwarming to hear that the one legged cockatoo was still alive and having visited you before and like you said, amazing that she's still alive with only having one leg 😯 She's so beautiful and brave to be there after all of the hassle that she gets from the other birds jealous treatment of her ! This was adorable and I loved the footage of her on the clothes line. Those lorikeets are beautiful but naughty ! Its so good that you have these beautiful birds roaming freely in your country. Great footage and great bulletproof solution that you came up with to help her 🙂 ~ Anna 👍

  12. A one-legged cockatoo! How did he lose his leg? Such a loss also shows how strong and resilient this bird is.
    He likes the special treatment from you. He will probably stop by more often in the future.
    Many greetings!

  14. #30 Hello my friend, it amazes me how Birds and Animals cope when missing a leg. I have seen a 3 legged Fox… no doubt caught in a snare and somehow tearing its leg off to be free! But coping absolutely fine. However, with so many other Cockatoos around and with food always wanted, I imagine it is that much harder to nip in quick and grab what you can. Better balanced birds would no doubt be stronger in 'the scrum'. I love how she stands her ground and isn't intimidated by others. I imagine it is the same bird from last year, same leg missing. That Lorikeet is so aggressive too! We have a rescue here at home: 'Pixies Wildlife Rescue' so we have had a few birds in with manky feet, especially Pigeons, some with legs amputated with fishing line, or twine, or manky from standing in their own poo etc…. but they also survive. Another great watch my friend, thank you. 👍◕‿◕
