  • Oppose I don't think we're seeing enough of the bird, and suspect Mr. Harrison thinks so, too. Samsara (FA  FP) 14:48, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    • I prefer that one over the nominated image, but they're so common in Australia that I think we could probably get one that shows all of the body. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 05:54, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per above - it is indeed a super common bird and I think JJ can come up with something better :P The alt he linked to is great for the crest being so visible, but I think we can probably get the feet in too (eg File:Sulphur_Crested_Cockatoo_Nov10.jpg) --Fir0002 10:44, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose These are very common and often very friendly birds, so it's possible to take a much clearer shot. As a note, they'd be considerable EV in a shot of a large flock of cockatoos on the ground feeding. Nick-D (talk) 02:24, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
