Beautiful bird!

Although, I'm wondering, how did you manage to teach him/her the hand signals?

[KaneNicholson]

The females have super looking tail feathers , they are like sunsets

I own a pair of Red Tailed Black Cockatoos sub species ( Naso) beautiful birds

@KaneNicholson Wow, that must be great -- do they require a lot of looking after?

[KaneNicholson]

@rkml67 Not hugely they are seed and nut eating birds so you put your seed in like in a big dog bowl and fill it up , that will last a week and everyday i give them gum nuts and walnuts and things , i have a 3m square aviary , they are just quite loud but apart from that beautiful pets so loving and soft natured
