Red-tailed black cockatoo

phylum	Chordata	The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, also known as Banksian- or Banks' Black Cockatoo, is a large black cockatoo native to Australia. Adult males have a characteristic pair of bright red panels on the tail that gives the species its name. It is more common in the drier parts of the continent. The species is usually found in eucalyptus woodlands, or along water courses. In the more northerly parts of the country, these cockatoos are commonly seen in large flocks. They are seed eaters and cavity nesters, and as such depend on trees with fairly large diameters, generally Eucalyptus. For more information, visit the Wikipedia entry. Get back to cockatoos
