Female Forest Red Tailed Black Cockatoo (My photo)

As the name suggests, the Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo is a forest-dwelling bird, preferring Jarrah, Marri and Sheoak.

Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos are generally seen in small family groups.

An active, noisy bird mostly almost exclusively in trees, spending much of the day feeding.
At sunset, flocks of this species are often seen flying high, returning from feeding areas to roosts in large trees along the banks of rivers or streams. They may be less wary while feeding than at other times, and generally do not allow a close approach by an observer, readily taking flight and screeching loudly.

What remarkable looking birds! I am ever amazed by the natural diversity there!

I can’t help but think that they resemble Steve Perry, the lead singer of Journey :upside_down_face:

They visit our pine trees every year and there’s always the danger of getting bonked on the head by discarded cones.

There is a pine plantation in Lesmurdie where many Black Cockatoos roost every evening. Next to Victoria Dam

We only see (and hear) them once a year for about 2/3 weeks when they’ve got young ones.

Yeah , love your profile pic.
At first glance I though it was a Womble of Wimbledon :grinning:

@Bretrick I changed mine some time ago on the orders of Azz. I was told it had to be a photo from my hard drive so I decided upon this one concerning the Twins Experiments of Mengler’s dastardly twisted mind to remind everyone of what has visited mankind before.

And all this time I was thinking profile pics were in some way helping to describe the personality of the member.
Silly me. Or…maybe not! :thinking:

Something I found surprising on here is how few seem to use a photo of themselves, I get we must be mindful of security but at least show a part you lol otherwise I feel I’m conversing with a gramophone or garden shed.

My chin ain’t up to much but at least it’s me.

PS I don’t actually care if your photo is of a Curly Wurly or a butplug, whatever

I’m interested in what people want to post not what they look like.

I’m not sure what it is - just a teddy with a wig and monocle I think, no actual character from anything.

Now I’m thinking about changing my own avatar. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Sorry Sooty lovers, I didnt know my pic was he, thought it was just a generic teddy :upside_down_face: :smiling_face:

Oh I’m sure there’s no need to apologise on behalf of Sooty lovers. He’s been a household name here for decades :wink::magic_wand:

Syrup is old London rhyming slang for wig.
Syrup of fig = wig :slightly_smiling_face::+1:
