Queensland Python Pictured Eating A Cockatoo

I had no idea pythons even hunted cockatoos:

IT’s a jungle out there – at least in the backyards of Cairns.

First it was a giant spider eating a bird, now a python has been snapped making a meal of a sulphur-crested cockatoo.

Artist and Clifton Beach resident Cindy Lane was painting in her studio when she heard a “couple of loud squawks” coming from the bougainvillea tree in her backyard.

She found the python coiling itself tightly around the bird high in the tree’s branches.

“I considered jumping in to save him, but his last breath was literally being squeezed from him as we approached,” she told The Cairns Post.

She said the python took about two hours to complete his meal after “one false start”.  [AFP]

Well I think this python had a whole lot easier time trying to swallow this cockatoo then this guy had trying to swallow a wallaby.
