The Glossy red tail black cockatoo Calyptorhynchus lathami

[happypalms]

Iam very fortunate to have the glossy red tail black cockatoo that inhabits my area where I live. A very rare endangered species of bird. When on my property working you hear the faintest little sounds thats a little clicking cracking sound that is ever so soft with a tiny little squell of a pair of birds feeding. They have become use to our voices and we don’t seem to worry them to much. Every time I see them I feel a great connection with nature thinking what a great joy Mother Nature can bring to a soul. The video footage of them drinking is a special moment. Our conservationists friends tell us it is rare footage that they are forwarding onto the land care group they are involved with as it is a sign of breeding pairs in the area. And I I do find the nest it shall remain a very guarded secret.

Your welcome absolutely amazing bird to see in habitat. A species of bird very reliant on the nuts of the casuarina sp or she oak.

To me Australia has some of the most beautiful birds in the world. I travelled Europe once the first thing I noticed and missed was the song birds of Australia singing in the morning!
