One day last year, I was hanging out at home when I heard a bang on the door. I thought it was somebody knocking. I peered out the window to see who it was, and I saw this:

It was a sulfur crested cockatoo.  I think that he wanted to come into the apartment, because he flew over and over again into the screen door. He tried to latch on to the door, and when he couldn't, he flew back to the balcony. When he hung out on the balcony, he stared at me through the window. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. He (I realize this bird could be a female, but Al and I always call it a "he") hung out with me until Al came home from work. 


Our friend continued to visit us. We knew when he showed up, because we always heard a bang on the door. We started leaving out bread and crackers for him, and he ate them. Then, on one terrible day when I was out shopping, Al didn't put out any food for him. He stopped coming after that. We assumed that he met some better people. 


Then, a few weeks ago, I got an email with a photo from Al. It appeared that our friend had returned!

We found him on top of our building yesterday.

We also found out that he likes the handlebars on my bike. 

We only  have two months left in this place, but I hope that he continues to see us. We're really going to miss him!

I also want to add that the apartment building that we live in is much smaller and cuter than the one across from us. The one in the pictures looks a little shocking, doesn't it?


Adelaide people- get ready for a HOT week!
