At Hamilton Island - in the Whitsunday Group of islands off Queensland - the sulphur crested cockatoos are wicked thieves. They warn you at the hotel reception to leave your glass sliding doors closed in your room or apartment because they break in through the screen doors and steal food.
While we were there the room above us was being ransacked with the cockies sitting out on the verandah railing above us eating the loot. They had a box of breakfast cereal and were shredding it.
Elsewhere friends of our reported them breaking into their room through louvred windows and eating very expensive gluten free bread and leaving the white bread. Evidence of them trailed through the apartment across the lounges and beds!
At the open air restaurants you can't afford to turn your back from your food for a moment...they're very cheeky and not at all afraid of people.
Amazing to see up so close though!

Lovable rogues! Your pictures have just brightened up my day Cathy, mustn't complain about the litle bit of rain we're getting though.
Thanks Duncan - lucky you getting rain - you guys really need it down there. I'd recommend a holiday to H.I. if the rain is getting you down too much - it's heavenly!
