A family of Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos arrived this week and proceeded to decimate our wattle trees to get at the wood-boring grubs deep in the branches and trunks.

ReplyDeleteFantastic, we rarely see them down at human level. They a such huge birds.
ReplyDeleteThey look like they can do some serious damage.
ReplyDeleteBoy oh boy, decimate they did!
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of shots.
Many thanks for the comments. These photos were taken less than three metres from our back door. They weren't concerned about my presence at all!
ReplyDeleteJoan Elizabeth is right: they are huge birds (about 65cm). Huge and gorgeous. Unfortunately, my photos don't do their size justice.
