- Yellow-tailed Black cockatoos are big Australian forest birds - up to 65cm, more than two foot, long. Unlike other cockatoos, a large proportion of their diet is made up of wood-boring grubs.
Their massive bills are adapted to tearing apart trees and breaking into the large woody seed-pods of native banksias and the cones of introduced exotic pines.
The larrikins of the bush. My favourite bird.
I love the sound of these magestic birds. My friend recently was married at a winery at Mudgee and just as his bride walked down the isle a brigade of yellow tails started to sing. Such graceful birds - they were very lucky to have their blessing.
They're eerily cool when you can hear them wailing in the distance and then see them flying barely flapping their wings.
Saw many today just feeding , really amazing
Yellow and black great Richmond supporters
I had four in my front yard, one morning, recently. Two were really big.
Sometimes they fly by my house and can hear there screams echo through the bush I love these beautiful birds
Hermosos hermosos Greetings from Costa Rica
Protect their environment...
Wildlife are not pets
At 4:26 she looks so happy when she finds the grub!
Beautiful footage thank you so much for sharing! ❤️🌹🌏🙏🏼
Great and informative video. Thanks so much for making these
Today I saw this two birds in my yard . I was amazed!
Fantastic video, thank you for sharing! I love the footage of these amazing birds (which are my favourite!) and the great information
Been hearing these guys around town, thought they were seagulls, until I encountered them the other day.
I was riding home from school and the path went past a bushy tree. when I was a few meters away nearly ten of these magnificent birds burst out of the leaves in front of me.
They're beautiful!
A great video and interesting information. It's amazing that they eat wood borer grubs.
I wondered why they were tearing up my tree in my backyard haha. I always look forward to when they arrive.
Today 12/10/2020 I saw 4 of them in Dandenong Melbourne I never seen them before in this area
aren't they magnificent things?
So, we have a red tailed and a yellow tailed Cockatoo?
Indeed. And a Glossy Black-cockatoo which is closely related to the Red-tailed. See here: ua-cam.com/video/eZFUBAwkZ20/v-deo.html.
Wonderful video. Where did you film them? Have been hearing them around Turrella for weeks
Thanks! Most of the vision (including the piece to camera) was shot a few years back at Batehaven over a period of a few days when a small family party of three was visiting an exotic pine in our garden. The vision of the birds flying and perching in the top of eucalypts was shot in Centennial Park. I had not wanted to do a piece on these birds until I had vision of the vital grub-hunting behaviour, and then, a few days ago I came upon one just off a busy path in Sydney Park, being watched fascinated passers-by and dogs and I was able to get what I needed effortlessly. This is why I almost always carry my camera!
