Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo
These are an extremely large bird which is commonly seen on the introduced pine trees of the upper Blue Mountains. They are attracted by the abundance of pine cones. They also love to perch on these tree tops where they give a sad, plaintive cry. You will often see them using their beak to move around the branches as if it was a third hand. They also eat the seeds of banksias and mountain devils which are easily torn apart by their powerful beak. When these birds are in flight it seems as if they are in slow motion. They generally hang out as a family.
