This is another of the birds that I saw while at Bonorong. It was pecking at a picture of itself on the wall, quite violently at times. I'm not sure whether it was showing affection for the 'other bird' or trying to challenge it, as I've read that they are aggressive birds that often peck at and chase intruders.
