Dream with Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo ~ This is one of the largest native parrots in Australia, which can be found in Tasmania. They are known for their noisy call and diverse diet. 
 
Size and Appearance:
They are one of the largest cockatoos, reaching up to 65cm in length. Their distinctive yellow cheek patches and tail bands make them easily identifiable, especially in flight. 
Diet:
Their diet is varied, including seeds of native trees like sheoaks, eucalyptus, and pine, as well as wood-boring larvae. They use their strong beaks to crack open seed pods and even tear away bark to find insects. 
Habitat:
They inhabit a range of habitats, including native forests, heathland, and pine plantations, and can be found throughout south-eastern Australia. 
Social Behavior:
They are often seen in small family groups and can gather in larger flocks during the breeding season. 
Breeding:
They nest in large hollows in old trees, with the female incubating the eggs while the male provides food. 
Calls:
Their calls are loud and raucous, often described as screeching or like a rusty gate.
