Larry's Gallery:   Baudin's Black-Cockatoo (1/3)

PSITTACIFORMES: Cacatuidae

Calyptorhynchus baudinii  

Also known as the Long-billed Black-Cockatoo.

We stayed overnight at the Stirling Range Retreat. First thing in the morning a flock of these guys flew into the gum tree outside our lodgings and within a couple of minutes a shower of leaves and flowers rained down carpeting the ground and our car. The birds then flew off, no doubt to find another hapless tree.
