Female Forest Red Tailed Black Cockatoo (my photo)

As the name suggests, the Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo is a forest-dwelling bird, preferring Jarrah, Marri and Sheoak.

Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos are generally seen in small family groups.
Left to right Mother, Daughter, Father (my photo)

An active, noisy bird mostly almost exclusively in trees, spending much of the day feeding.
At sunset, flocks of this species are often seen flying high, returning from feeding areas to roosts in large trees along the banks of rivers or streams.
They may be less wary while feeding than at other times, and generally do not allow a close approach by an observer, (unless it is Bretrick), readily taking flight and screeching loudly.

Nice photo, Bretrick.

Bretrick I believe that the large flocks we see at night are the white tailed, Carnaby's cockatoo as the red tailed cockatoos congregate in smaller groups of 5 or 6

Very cool you certainly have some great winged critters down your way. Some great plants too.

Makes me think of Elvis.

I would like to find something that interests me the way you have. I almost live in the woods and have a pond so the wildlife is plentiful here, yet this doesn't really interest me. I enjoy looking at it and love the nature and peacefulness of it all, but it just doesn't blow my skirt up. It's just something that exists like grass and trees. I see red and grey fox, coyotes, and all manner of birds and varmints, but they don't interest me. Maybe it's just me.

That would be correct.
Though I often see flocks of 20 - 40 Red Tails congregate around here . Yokine - Perth
