Yellow tailed Black Cockatoos
0This family I spotted while out doing my Pokemon Go catching. It's great how well bird observing and pokemon catching go so well together. Unfortunately it's always when I have my phone and not my camera. I really must stop recording with my phone, I hate the dimensions and I can't hold it properly with my meaty man fists.
I mostly focus on the juvenile here. One adult is on watch up the top. I originally assumed it was watching out for the bubba, but later discovered the other adult was actually waaaay down the bottom of the same bush, down near the ground. So it's more likely it was watching out for its mate.
I don't think the juvenile was having much luck trying to eat nuts while the wind was so choppy. I believe it was an acacia bush / tree. Also, I've had to touch up the audio to deaden the noisy cars nearby (wind removal and maximum denoise slider using Filmora).

Do not ask for an exact location as I will not give it. These birds are getting rarer and rarer to find, I don't want them to be victims of the illegal bird trade.
