Carnabys: “expected” & “unexpected” behaviour

 

Australia has six black cockatoo species.

All are intelligent, sociable, spectacularly agile, and have very powerful beaks.

The world’s only two white-tailed black cockatoo species – both endangered – are endemic to southwest Western Australia.

My beloved and I are lucky enough to see and hear one of them – Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo – on hundreds of occasions, every year.

The featured image shows behaviour which is very familiar to us.

The other photos show something “new”, at least to us.

This post’s cockatoos were not playing “Banksia rugby”, but they were members of the same flock, and also part of our “late arvo Carnabys Encounter” on 15 September 2021, just outside Cape Arid National Park’s northwestern edge.
