Bloody awesome morning at Feathered Friends Sanctuary in Bargo. Just outside of Sydney and well worth the trip.

Huge shout out to Ravi and all the volunteers. You can tell they’re genuinely passionate about what they do and the birds are amazing.
Got to handle a Whistling Kite, Barn Owl, Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo, Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, Major Mitchell’s and a bunch of others. Seeing some of those species up close was unreal.

The Whistling Kite even made sure I got a proper look at its butthole… not sure if that means it liked me or not.k
