Incredible scene: a 10-foot-long, ravenous python swallows a big bird entire.

The extraordinary moment a three-metre-long python feasted on a large white cockatoo has been captured in Far North Queensland.

Cairns local Gary Montagner snapped the snake hanging from the gutters of his Mooroobool home as he widened his jaw to slowly digest the bird.

‘Nature’s circle of life caught on camera!’ posted Montagner, who added that the nearby squawking cockatoos that can be heard in the background of the video were “distressed” and remained in the trees, too scared to venture near the reptile.

It took about two hours for the python to completely consume the hapless white cockatoo. The top of the python’s neck can be seen as it begins to devour what appears to be a sulfur-crested cockatoo, a process that Montagner said took two hours. “We knew that a python sometimes came into our roof,” Montagner told Daily Mail Australia. They go in where the roof meets the gutter, through a one-inch hole. ‘Then they wait by the bird feeder,’ he continued. ‘Roosters usually tell each other if there is a python in the area. “The biggest python I had ever seen in my house was six or seven meters long.” Certain species of python are known to eat animals the size of kangaroos in this part of Australia.

The three meter long python is nearing the end of its two-hour digestion of the large bird The most common in the Cairns region is the Aéthystine python, a non-venomous variety that can grow to a size of between 5 and 8.5 meters and lives on birds and small mammals. “One of our neighbors had her cat taken away by a python,” Montanger said. “We have small dogs, but the snakes don’t seem to go after the dogs as much.” This particular specimen demonstrates a perfect technique for killing pythons: it coils around its prey and squeezes it until it suffocates, a process known as constriction. “We like animals,” Montagner said. “We don’t want [the python] to be killed or removed, it’s just part of nature up here.”
