Forget the Skywhale; theres a new hot air balloon in town. SkyCockatoo is currently touring the skies of Canberra and beyond, albeit in a slightly different way.

The cheery cockatoo head is a photo filter available on the social media platform Instagram. Users point their phone camera at any scene and the cockatoo balloon is superimposed onto it, including its own shadow.

So no, it might not exist in the real world, but the makers of the filter are being inundated with demands to make SkyCockatoo a reality.
