- The Red tailed black cockatoo is one of the most instantly recognisable birds in Australia, but many Australians are still less familiar with them then they are with their cousins the Sulfur created cockatoo, galah and the corellas. So in this weeks video we are sharing ten facts about the red tailed black cockatoo that most people don’t know!

Thanks. That was great. I’m in Long Beach NSW and have had my eye on the ever increasing numbers of black cockies. I love to hear their awesome cry as they take to the skies. I didn’t know any of those things btw
The Red Bellied Black snake of the avarian variety! Love it!
Hahaha true 😂
We live in Bowen, nq, and here they eat the seeds of the terminalia tree and also seeds of white cedar trees- love them
Wow!! Didn't know any of deez facts 'bout da red-tailed black cockatoos!! It's now...my favorite parrot !! (wif 5 sub-species!!) XOXO. ❤❤❤❤❤
Another great video Nick, and yet a few more facts that I didn’t know, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all. I’ve lived on the Central Coast just north of Sydney for around 35 years and sadly watched the decline of the these beautiful winged wonders. Years ago it was so common to hear the distinctive call of a flock of red tails overhead, now sadly that call is rarely ever heard.
Thanks Stuart! Sadly for unknown reasons they just haven’t adjusted to humans as well as the other cocky species
@@WickedWildlife "haven't adjusted to humans" ...or they're just very smart 🤫
I'm lucky to have them in my suburban backyard each year, as we have a massive gum tree.
I also take the video & follow them on foot along the creek, to the park...with our koolie 'Sophie'.
The park has a self watering pole 'station', which are the ducks nuts 👍(in my RT Black Cockatoo video).
Beautiful birds ❤️
Hope you have them visit again Stuart!
Nick, sending more love to you & your family cobber ❤️
Hope you are all coping as best as possible..
As usual I’ve learned a ton, a lot more than I would from any normal “ten things you didn’t know” video. Great work!
Didn't know much at all about them. Really enjoyed that 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching mate!
Nice vid Nick! 2 more things... Nowra in NSW means red tailed black cockatoo in the indigenous language, and the first coloured squadron of the USA trained in Australia, and seeing the Red tailed black cockatoo, called themselves the Red tails!
Love our Cockatoo's, especially these Red-tailed ones, be an absolute Crime if they went extinct. A Sulphur landed on my balcony yesterday, and I was talking to him or her, and the bird was trying to communicate with me, but did not know how, just so smart.
I love those Cocky's, and people from overseas cannot believe we just have them wild, flying around, being a pest to other birds, and cats.
Didn't knew it had so many subspecies interesting facts as always
Thanks mate!
I own a Red Tailed Black Cockatoo. His name is Rocko also. He is just over a year old, so only 3 more years before he gains his adult colours. He loves having a shower, destroying my kids thongs and only likes me handling him, he doesnt like my kids or anything else. Cant stand me being away from him, so thankfully me being retired, I have all the time in the world to make sure he is safe, healthy and active.
Parrots usually don't accept new caretakers, unless their previous one has left them behind (death or abandon), and are also unlikely to accept multiple caretakers at once.
But it's possible to befriend them by feeding and doing activities together (cockatoos are energetic and loud, so singing and dancing are good options).
Parrots in general are very smart birds, and almost comparable to adult humans when it comes to social complexity; They ARE able to have multiple kinds of relationships with other birds, humans, and even domesticated animals.
Would love to learn more of the Tiwi Island’s aboriginal lore on black cockatoo
I'm in the Darling Range WA and they often roost in our gums and feed in them. Beautiful birds. I didnt know a lot about the so your video was helpful. And Rocco made me laugh, nuzzling away.
Thanks Nick, what a gorgeous feathered friend you have there . . . just love his call!
What a great video, thank you!
Thanks for your amazing vid
Hi Nick Rocco is gorgeous. All the black cockatoo’s are beautiful amongst some of my favourite Australian birds. Thanks mate take care
today 13/05/2024 I saw 5 or more black cockatoos around Aubin Grove area, Western Australia. that is why I am here to do some research, they are so unique
What a beauty!❤❤❤
I knew none of those 10 things - wow and thanks
Lovely videos. Thank You.
Thanks Lisa!
Stunning animal!
Would love to find out what their diet is to ant appropriate trees. I'm in Kingaroy SEQ. Mostly see white cockatoos and yellow tailed out this way and the more bush around the better the chances of sightings. Love our Aussie birds. Great video brother!
Cracking vid, I learned so much.
Cocky count coming up soon!
Beautiful bird
Thank you for all your awesome information. I didn't know any of that. We live in WA and there are heaps of Red's where we live. Do you have a link for the WA conservation count thing that you mentioned? We are definitely interested. Thanks
Hey Nick great video but sad to hear of the decline of these brilliant birds. You may not know that maybe the black cockatoo wasn't the earliest Australian bird to reach Europe... In 1496 Andrea Mantegna painted the 'Madonna della Vitoria' In that painting there is White Sulphur crested Cockatoo!!! You Australians certainly got around. Thanks for your great work for wildlife
I love your commitment to wearing that hat and not poking the bird with it, your neck look so sore lol also good video
Thank you so very much, to this young man here, whose name I didn’t catch!?! Very good video about the black red tail cockatoo, or however, you call it/them?!?! I had never heard about a black cockatoo until today!!! Thought there were only white cockatoos, etc.!?!?!! They are lovely and beautiful! More variety in the animal kingdom!!! Well, since I don’t live in the land down under!!! Good for you for educating me and others!!! Wish I could come/go to Australia, therefore, I leave this earthly plane!! I have friends who are from Adelaide, Australia… I love birds and have raised cockatiels some, besides lovebirds. Growing up we had a yellow naped Amazon parrot and a myna, bird, etc.! Thank you so very much again!! ❤🙏💜😘🤗😇❤️❤️🩹👍✋😄✝️🥰😀🤘😁😎🦜
G'day Nick, I am lucky enough to have these wonderful birds feed from the Bottlebrush in our garden, we have noticed over the years fewer coming, I look forward every year too see them, we used to have 30/40 sadly now there is about 15,their wing span and beak size always surprises me, I live in Armadale WA!
Would be a crime to let these beautiful birds go extinct.
Thanks for sharing this video! What a stunning bird. Only ever see the yellow-tails where I live, but then, there's not a lot of forest near me. He seems very content on your shoulder there. Is he OK with other people too, or is he fussy who he hangs with?
I have just left Cairns after living there for 30 years. No nothing to do with Jasper. I left the week before. We had beach almonds in the playground next door. They were filled with red tailed blacks and sulphur cresteds
What a noise every morning.
I'm related to Sydney parkinson & Julius ceasar ibbetson...both were famous painters.
That’s very cool!
We've me Rocco before. He's gorgeous. Do you clip his wings Nick?
His currently clipped but out long term goal is to build him back to flying
Unfortunately his been clipped his whole life before coming to us, we’ve clipped him once here but hoping by the time these feathers moult out he will have settled and got to know us as his new family enoug that we can start to take the risks of building up his flight muscles
@@WickedWildlife I do hope so as its so cruel to deny a bird its ability to fly.
Gday Nick,
I know, commenting on an old video, that being said, given the ranges you stated, what would be the species i see in Kosciuszko?
Also, while i havent gone through your back catalogue of videos (slowly getting there), have you done anything on quolls & our antechinus (or the dasyuridae family as a whole)?
❤Red Tailed Black ❤Cockatoo❤
I remember the red tailed cockatoo at James Cook University in Townsville. Early visit to the library. There were a few in around. It has been 19years. I wonder if they are still there.
Good Morning man under the hat
Good morning mate!
They’re now my favourite Australian reptile
(Tbf I think they’re all equal favourite)
I fall into the trap of saying they are all my favourite 😂
@@WickedWildlife
It’s impossible not to 😉
REPTILE?
@@simonpaterson9648
Hey Simon, yep birds are reptiles.
If you were to look at a phylogenetic tree you’d see that birds, crocodilians and turtles share a more recent ancestor than they do with lizards and snakes, following monophyletic claddistics as a basis for classification birds are considered reptiles.
@@boglenight1551 OK, they are, but too complicated to write down all the information I looked at. Learn something new, even at my age.
All new facts for me.., thanks great video... such a shame that they're almost preprogrammed to fail..are you able to diversify their diet in captivity..?
The northern subspecies are all pretty tolerant of new foods but currently there’s been no success keeping the endangered South Eastern subspecies in captivity
So far all the effort has gone into conserving them in the wild
Love learning anything about black cockatoos ❤️ here in Morphett Vale, Adelaide, south Australia I've only ever seen flocks of Yellow Black Cockatoos - such a beautiful site to see. Always been a dream of mine to see Red Black Cockatoos ❤️🖤
Always wanted to own and bond with a red tail.. best I got was with cacactoo who was 17yrs
I have a banksi banksi sub species & yes he is left handed.
Wowwww my favorite black cockatoo you can give me one😀
When will we learn as humans as to trashing the environment for all our beautiful unique animals we have in this country.
Seems to be a good few numbers of the yellow tail species in northern NSW.
Thanks Nick for another great video.
WOW🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟💫💫🌟✨
You have to show the cockatoo live Nick
I might one time, it’s just hard as rules out handling pythons at the same time
@@WickedWildlife That would be amazing
Crazy they go for 15k-40k $
Can these birds crossbreed with similar species?
I see so many normal cockatoos flying around almost it often creates problems because there's so many and they destroy things. I wonder why you don't see these red tailed black cockatoos in large numbers either since I thought cockatoos breed like crazy
Black cockatoos breed much slower as they only rear one chick at a time while Sulfur created cockies raise several
He sounds like a mobile phone
I have a really heartbreaking fact Nick, I've heard that Black Cockatoos can't be taught how to talk 😭😭, can you or anyone else confirm or deny...? Cheers mate! 👍👍
I don’t wanna say it’s impossible for them to talk, but they aren’t very good at it, the best I’ve heard is some that mutter a few single words
@@WickedWildlife Yup, they are not interested in talking
If people believing they can’t talk stops them being bred as pets: it’s absolutely impossible for them to talk.
My Red Tailed Black doesnt need to talk, he tells me what he wants by showing me or by his body language. Such a smart bird.
are we sure subspecies arnt just same species like, if you transplanted an egg from the southern to hte northern will they develop differntly to match the location and social group? nature vs nurture?
The differences are very much genetic, for example northern red tails are available in captivity australia wide, but still retain all their specific traits when raised in other parts of the country.
Black Cockatoo Prince plz......?
Not for sale you degenerate.
Is Rocco bonded to you? Cockatoo's are generally really social animal who need a lot of attention.
no hate plz fix ur audio
water your philodendrons.
