Another Crest Display.

Black Cockatoos

These are, thankfully, not as destructive as the Sulphur Crested. They are rarer than the Sulphurs, so they are more difficult to see. When they are seen, they are usually very 'shy' around people and fly away readily and are often high up in the tree canopy. This pair were about 10 meters up in a neighbouring evergreen happily eating the cones and sending a rain of bits down onto the neighbour's roof. I will post some o the good photos of the pair together anon.
