Bom dia, Hi! I’ve never seen a black cockatoo. Isn’t this bird amazing. Thanks Cindy for posting this.

Yesterday was the last day before we left Booderee National Park in New South Wales, to follow more of The Yellow Brick Road in Oz.

We have been seeing so many truly beautiful birds, but none of the vulnerable Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo, which is an enormous and very impressive cockatoo.

Yellow Tails are a vulnerable species, facing rapid population decline, due to habitat destruction and human predation, hence they they tend to be shy around people they don’t know

I had seen Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos here eleven years ago, but was packing my suitcase, resigned to not having a repeat experience, when I spied this one out my window.

I found my Wizard of Oz! And now, you have too.

Cheers to you from all The Wizards in magical Oz~

Nice photos. A Black Cockatoo is a first for me.
hi, it was for me too, when I got it this morning I knew I had to repost…I love looking at them in their natural habitat. My son has a white cockatoo, they have together for years, but for me, I maintain they belong in the wild.
Awww, thanks much my friend from the birdies and me! Cheers & have a wonderful weekend.
