Red Tailed Black Cockatoos

The black cockatoo is a beautiful, graceful bird, with an unmistakable but somewhat distinctive call. The birds represent change and enlightenment and herald the coming of rain when they fly over above. They are also believed to be the guides and guardians of the spirits of loved ones on their journey to rest amongst the Ancestors.
The red tailed black cockatoo's are one of the more threatened species of cockatoo in Australia and are listed as a vulnerable bird.
