A slender sulphur crested cockatoo perched on a hand rail, looking into the camera.

Cafes in Halls Gap are normally a real hot spot for cockies, kookaburras and currawongs - but there's been no tourists here since the fires before Christmas.

This slender fella had eyes on my toast but has likely been eating almost exclusively "real" food for over a week now.
