Cockatoos

+
The Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo, a striking bird native to Australia, is captured here in its natural habitat. Females have brighter yellow cheek patches than males. These birds are also called 'Funeral Cockatoos", as their scientific name, Zanda funereal, suggests that they are somberly colored. These cockatoos have a short crest, which is partially erected here. They are known for their loud calls and social behavior, often seen in pairs or small groups.
