Featured Iverson rock: The Cockatoo


Here's another Iverson character that the viewer may or may not "choose" to see. I suppose it's akin to those "magic eye" pictures that have a picture hidden within the picture, but you have to relax your eyes to be able to see it. To me, the Cockatoo is as plain as day, ready to jump up and start chirping. In the photo above, the Cockatoo is seen at the bottom of the picture, oriented horizontally. The figure is found in the widely filmed South Rim area of the Upper Iverson Ranch, but back a ways from where most of the movie action took place. I haven't spotted it in a movie yet.

Here's a photo of a sulphur-crested cockatoo for comparison.
