"Yellow Feathered Red Tailed Black Cockatoo"
Western Australia's bird watching community is abuzz with joy following a sighting of a rare yellow-feathered red-tailed black cockatoo spotted frolicking in a tree outside a regional police station in Bunbury. 100 miles south of Perth.
The bird's plumage is thought to be the result of a genetic mutation opposite of albinism called leucism, which has left the bird with brilliant yellow feathers in place of should have been red or black ones.
This is only the fourth one ever recorded
This is what Red Tailed Black Cockatoos look like.
