Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo...
They're messy, but you've got to love them!
When: These guys are regular visitors to Caloundra, arriving around September and hanging around through January.
They seem to arrive in flocks and depart the same way.
Your eyes are drawn to the skies as they pass over making their distinctively haunting cry.
However, you usually see them in family groups of two adults and one or two young.
These families spend their time feeding off the local trees. Banksias are popular snacks around
The young loudly implore mum and dad to feed them.
Sadly for the parents, a feeding doesn't quieten the youngsters for long.
