Carnaby's Cockatoo.

This fella is on the rare and endangered list. We are lucky enough to have a few come to our place every autumn to feed on our pine tree cones. The little buggers never clean up after themselves though. However I took this pic down on the coast near Yallingup and they were eating the seeds from the prickly pear bush.This one is a male identified by the red eye ring. The second pic is in our pine tree.

Good catch Rev they often feature in the Wildlife photo comps.Over here we have the Yellow-tailed and Red-tailed blacks the former being more common in NE NSW and also the Glossy Black.

Great pics,saw a couple down at Mt Barker when I was in WA a few years ago.
We have the familiar yellow tailed cockatoo here on the Sunshine coast hinterland,with a few red tailed now and again.
