Yellow-tailed black cockatoo (Zanda funerea)
The Yellow-tailed black cockatoo (Zanda funerea) is a large mainly black cockatoo which we often see in flocks. They feed on a variety of foods including banksia seeds and grubs in trees. The bird listens to the sound of the grub in the tree and then rips off the bark of the tree and the wood around the grub to reveal its next meal.
