Beautiful in Black

A south eastern red tailed black cockatoo poses for some shots, he almost looks a little shy !

There are 5 subspecies of Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo in Australia. The South-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii graptogyne) is only found in south-east South Australia and south-west Victoria. With an estimated population of about 1400 birds, the South-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo is in danger of extinction,which is why it is so important for breeding programs like those at the Melbourne Zoo to try to keep these guys safe now and in the future

    Good shooting. I’ll have to pay better attention next time I’m at the zoo, I haven’t seen this guy before. Amazing that we are stupid enough to push them (and others) to extinction almost.

    What an amazing & beautiful bird. I haven’t seen this one before. I’ve seen a bunch of black cockatoos flying over here at Randwick but I haven’t managed to get a good look at them. The sound is pretty amazing. Great shot & a great cover for the calendar Trudi.
