Wild Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoos

A big Black Cockie on a high branch keeps watch for his pals feeding in the she-oaks below. They keep in touch by constant calling. This was filmed at Knocklofty Reserve, West Hobart, Tasmania. When you see these birds at such low altitudes as this it usually means bad weather is coming...

They have suffered population reductions across their range, so while they are still common in some places the overall picture is one of decline due to ongoing land clearing and habitat degradation.

In South Australia this species is legally listed as vulnerable and is subject to considerable conservation effort.

These are amazing birds. I wish I had more time to help save them

To be honest they are pretty common still in Tasmania, although they are dwindling on the mainland. Their main threats are logging and land clearing so keep that in mind next time there is an election...

They are common on the mainland in Victoria. Certainly not an endangered species by any stretch
