The red-tailed black cockatoo also known as Banksian- or Banks black cockatoo, is a large black cockatoo native to Australia. Adult males have a characteristic pair of bright red panels on the tail that gives the species its name. It is more common in the drier parts of the continent. Five subspecies are recognised, differing most significantly in beak size. Although the more northerly subspecies are widespread, the two southern subspecies, the forest red-tailed black cockatoo and the south-eastern red-tailed black cockatoo are under threat

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and vulnerability of the endangered Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo, a native species of Australia. The adult male's vibrant red panels on its tail are truly captivating, giving this bird its distinctive name. This particular cockatoo is more commonly found in the drier regions of the continent, but it faces significant threats to its survival. The Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo has five recognized subspecies, with variations mainly seen in beak size. While some northern subspecies have a relatively stable population, two southern subspecies—the Forest Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo and the South-Eastern Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo—are currently facing serious endangerment. Artie Photography skillfully captures this magnificent creature against a tropical backdrop in Far North Queensland near Cairns. The image showcases not only the bird's striking appearance but also highlights Australia's unique indigenous culture and lush tropical climate. As we admire this photograph by Artie Ng, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect these precious creatures and their habitats. It serves as a powerful reminder that conservation efforts must continue to ensure that future generations can witness the awe-inspiring presence of these endangered birds in their natural environment.
