Red-tailed Black Cockatoo (male)

Description:

Adult Red-tailed Black Cockatoos are around 60 centimetres (24 in) in length and sexually dimorphic. Males are completely black in colour, excepting their prominent red tail bands; the slightly smaller females are black with yellow barring on their chest, yellow grading to red spots over their crest, cheeks and wings and yellow-orange tail stripes. -Wikipedia

Habitat:

Here is the male, easily recognised from the bright red panels in his tail. This male did not stop eating the whole time I sat there watching.
