Red-tailed Black Cockatoo - a photo on Flickriver

            The red-tailed black cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii) also known as Banksian- or Banks' black cockatoo, is a large black cockatoo native to Australia.  Adult males have a characteristic pair of bright red panels on the tail that gives the species its name.  It is more common in the drier parts of the continent. 

The species is usually found in eucalyptus woodlands, or along water courses.  In the more northerly parts of the country, these cockatoos are commonly seen in large flocks. They are seed eaters and cavity nesters, and as such depend on fairly large trees, generally Eucalyptus.  Populations in southeastern Australia are threatened by deforestation and other habitat alterations.  I saw this bird in central Australia.
