Okay, if you are like me, you were not able to see the Nature program, Parrots in the Land of Oz, which aired on PBS on 19, 20 and 21 October. So I have dug up a few videos that give you a glimpse of what you did not see. This video includes a close look at fig parrots and eclectus parrots (both of which were included in my research), along with several species of cockatoos -- black white and pink species [9:40]

I love watching cockatoos play.
There are Major Mitchell cockatoos at the Central Park Zoo. The pink, reds and yellows of their plumage are unreal!
