Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos deft captains of kernels


Food ... the daily grind. Not always noted for tidy table manners, Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos (Calyptorhynchus banksii) male (top) and female show dainty touch as they pry kernels from tough native olives.    

Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus) jumps into tasty mango.
Red-backed Fairy-wren (Malurus melanocephalus) picks at possibly insect treats.

    Welcome, welcome.
