Red-tailed Black-cockatoo’s – such a beautiful bird.
I had the pleasure of photographing this female during the week. She’s not the best with strangers but I was able to get reasonably close without causing her any distress. I think she liked the makeshift perch that I rigged up for her and she enjoyed christening my new black backdrop. For the past 3 months we’ve had the pleasure of watching and listening to these squawking birds as they love the red gums on our property and beyond. This girl is a family pet that has been hand raised.
