  • Summary

  • Welcome back to the Australians Teach English Podcast for 2024.


    We're feeling a little bit cocky, which is funny, because that's the name of this episode. You might have noticed that the mascot is a white bird - he's actually a cockie or cocky. So, I thought it was about time to do an episode on cockies.

    And who better to talk about cockies than the true cockie lady herself, Suzy from @thealmondcafe ?

    Over the years, Suzy's balcony has become the second home to a flock of cockies, and we talk about her experiences with them.

    We talk about different cockatoos and the various conservation status that each has.

    We also talk about the origin of the word cockatoo, and how variations can be used differently.

    And of course, we talk about the language of cockatoos, and what we can learn from them.
