But Peter the beak sure looks and is powerful but when you get a tame one you could put your finger in it and worst you would get is a playful nip. At least mine was like that. You wouldn't want to pick up a wild one tho.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872846095279685146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708428768586378687.post-9103256788133750772013-07-18T13:41:05.093+10:002013-07-18T13:41:05.093+10:00One of the varieties of Black Cockatoo lives prima...One of the varieties of Black Cockatoo lives primarily on termites and they rip old trees and termite nest infested with "white ants" apart to get at the prized food inside.<br /><br />Here at Mt Larcom we get Black cockatoos on a regular basis. They cone to get the fruit of the Burdekin Plum tree in the back yard and sometimes have a crack at the Macadamia nuts. The sulphur crested cockatoos like the Macadamias too and they bith crack the nuts in their beaks. <br />Bloody hell, I would not like to get a finger in the beak of one of those.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495780706478301480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708428768586378687.post-38433137945487672512013-07-18T12:33:54.619+10:002013-07-18T12:33:54.619+10:00We get the yellow-tailed black cockatoos - they co...We get the yellow-tailed black cockatoos - they come at different times of the year, hang around for a few weeks and then disappear again.

They appear regularly once a year in Spring and move along the line of she-oaks above the dunes from the north to the south, systematically stripping acorns and twigs from the branches. The trees don't seem any the worse and I suspect it's part of nature's regenerative process. But they do it one tree at a time, then disappear somewhere to the south doing the same as they progress.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872846095279685146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708428768586378687.post-35489364149857838992013-07-13T16:28:38.075+10:002013-07-13T16:28:38.075+10:00It is also fairly expensive Dale, as can be seen f...It is also fairly expensive Dale, as can be seen from the above anticipated costs.
