We stopped for a night in the Ouyen Hotel on our recent North-Western Victoria trip. Major Mitchell's Cockatoo was on our 'wanted list' for the trip but we weren't expecting to see them until we reached Wyperfeld. Resting in our room before dinner we heard the creaky door call of the pink cockatoo, on investigation we found a pair of the cheeky birds munching on pine cones in an exotic pine tree behind the BP petrol station, located on the Hwy. Not really what we were expecting!!
