Baudin's Black Cockatoo
Baudin's Black Cockatoo is a large bird native to southwestern Australia. It is known for its striking black plumage, which features distinctive yellow patches on the tail and under the wings. This species primarily inhabits forests and woodlands, where it feeds on seeds, fruits, and nuts, particularly from Banksia and Eucalyptus trees.
These cockatoos are social birds, often seen in small flocks. They are named after the French explorer Nicolas Baudin, who first documented them in the early 19th century. Unfortunately, Baudin's Black Cockatoo is currently classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss and other environmental pressures.
