They are beautiful birds, we have about 6 types of black cockatoo here in Australia, palm cockatoo, red tailed, white tailed, yellow tailed, casuarina and the gang gang. They are all absolutely beautiful. However a couple of them are becoming increasingly rare which is sad.

They mainly eat the seed of one tree, the casuarina oak, and all over australia these trees are just being demolished. That combined with the lack of breeding hollows and slow sexual maturity is really crippeling certain populations of black cockatoos.
