A Baudin's Cockatoo show off his pink eye ring, which marks him as a male. Also visible with a close look is his long, pointed upped beak, which differentiates him from Carnaby's Black Cockatoo. The beak of this species is specially adapted for removing seeds from barrel-shaped eucalyptus seed pods. The fast shutter speed used in taking this image has frozen the wings movement perfectly.
