Carnaby's Black Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus/Zanda latirostris

Carnaby's Black Cockatoo, also called the Short-billed Black Cocokatoo to distinguish from the long, slender bill of the similar Baudin's Black Cockatoo, is native to southwest Australia (as is Baudin's). Like Baudin's, it has a short crest and white in its tail feathers.

Males (above), like the related Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos, have a dark beak and pink eye-rings. The white cheek mark is longer but fainter than the female's. The black feathers have a thin light edge. The black plumage is slightly irridescent.

Females (above) and juveniles have a light beak and dark grey eye-rings. Females have less extensive but brighter white cheeks. Their black feathers are more strongly scalloped with white.
