Glossy black cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami)

- Опубликовано: 17 апр 2021
- Listed as vulnerable by the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency, the glossy black cockatoo is one of Australia’s rarest cockatoos. They have a very restricted diet, feeding only on the seeds in cones of she-oaks (Casuarina and Allocasuarina) and only on selected individual trees - they will return to the same food tree time and time again, often ignoring nearby trees that are full of cones; but these patterns of feeding are poorly understood. Breeding occurs only every two years with a single egg being laid in late January to early June, with a longer nestling period than any other cockatoos (up to 90 days). Large hollow bearing trees are needed for breeding, emphasising the need to retain remnant old growth vegetation, included dead standing trees. The young are dependent on the parents for at least 12 months.

What a really gnarly bird, those subtle colors are really something.
Hello SAitoTetsuo, they are indeed subtle, although the adult females develop bright yellow speckles on their faces. Their call is eerie and melancholy. Thank you for watching.
Wow, I have never seen, let alone heard of a glossy black cockatoo. I have seen a black palm cockatoo. He is beautiful. Love those big eyes.
Hello KG, thank you for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. They are one of my favourite birds, because they are naturally very tame - they will tolerate people walking right up to the tree while they feed, and they watch you with gentle, wise eyes. Their call is eerie and melancholy, and their lifetime bonding to their mate is very strong.
@@GubanaNatureRefuge Thank you for your reply. Now I know more about them, thanks to you.
Relaxing too watch

Such amazing birbs. I just found your channel and subscribed!
I am wondering if I might come across some cockatiels in your videos eventually. I got 2 sleeping next to me right now lol.
Nature in Australia is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!
Very handsome bird! Best of all, not in a cage.

Sounds like they are really vulnerable to habitat loss, beautiful to see!
Hello mfanwe, you hit the nail on the head. They need a combination of rare environmental elements, particularly the old tree hollows and specialist diet. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Stay safe.
Gorgeous 🙏🏻❤️🥰😍😘
Beautiful. So clever too
stunning
Great video..
Hello Tas, thank you for your continuing support and efforts to educate the troll in the last video! I hope you are enjoying an awesome autumn and didn't suffer any property damage in the big winds.
@@GubanaNatureRefuge - thanks, mate, the 'double' cyclone (called a Fujiwhara Effect, yep, I just found that out, myself, while getting the correct spelling for Seroja, 😄) didn't hardly affect me down here in SW Busselton, we had winds and rain, after cyclone Seroja hit the coast but that was still 1,200+ km away! I was expecting much more 'rough'' weather than we got!
Thanks for latest video, I have a soft spot for emus, they really don't peck that hard and can be friendly... just don't offer them stuff to easily peck at or is shiny... like earrings and eye-balls! thanks again, I truly appreciate your videos 😊
yum mateys
