There are five species of Black-Cockatoo, all Australian birds. The one in the picture is a Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo. While these birds are common, their habitat is threatened, and they suffered during the forest fires of the last few summers.
A red tail mentioned in its name,
A bright red tail, bright like a flame;
Yet what endangers this bright flyer?
An Australian forest fire.
