Red-tailed Black Cockatoos in Alice Springs, opposite Albrecht oval

Saw a group of birds sitting on the ground feeding on some grass seeds, pulled over and was delighted to see there was a group of Red-tailed Black Cockatoos. I hadn't noticed before the sheen like those of crows and ravens on the cockatoos. They flew off due to this rude intruder, but not far and sat on the fence.

  1. Saw this flock this arvo and had to call family so they too could share the joy. Great moment

  2. Superb photography!
    Again, I can't say how I envy to see those stunning cockatoos in the wild and have them tolerate your presence fairly close!
    How exiting!
    The Mrs is sooooo pretty with her golden beauty spots! :)
    Well done!
    Cheers and happy birding!

  3. Aren't they super?!! Great series of photos showing the fire in their tails. A few years since I've seen them. Thanks for posting them.
