Baudin's Black-Cockatoo

Peaceful Bay, SW WA IMG_9484 20181024 - female right: light bill, dark eye-ring, white ear-patch; male left: dark bill,
pink eye-ring, off-white ear-patch.

Notes: Like Carnaby's Black-Cockatoo but flocks do not mix. Also, Baudin's has a narrower bill &
extraordinarily long tips to mandibles. Male: pink eye-ring, bill darkens w. age. Female: grey eye-
ring, off-white bill, clear white ear-patch. Eats mostly seeds of Karrie & Marri eucalypts, hooking
the seeds out from the top opening; occasionally on ground for seeds of pasture weeds.
