🌏 Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo (Zanda funerea)

The Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo is a large, brownish-black bird with a short crest, distinctive yellow cheek patches, and a yellow tail band. It is distributed across southeastern Australia, including Tasmania, favouring eucalypt woodlands and forests. These cockatoos are diurnal, social, and often noisy, seen in pairs or flocks. Their flight is characterized by slow, deep wingbeats, and they primarily feed on seeds and wood-boring grubs. Two to three subspecies are recognised. Gemini 3 (Edited)

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Fun fact: Their most distinctive sound is a high-pitched, mournful, and drawn-out "kee-ow... kee-ow" call, which is often described as sounding like a rusty gate or a wailing cry. This call can carry over long distances.

🌎 Black-cheeked Woodpecker (Melanerpes pucherani)

The Black-cheeked Woodpecker is a medium-sized bird with a striking appearance: a black-and-white barred back, a conspicuous white rump, and a characteristic black mask or cheek patch. Males display a red crown and nape, while females only have red on the nape. This non-migratory resident is distributed from southern Mexico through Central America to western Ecuador, inhabiting the mid-levels and canopy of humid evergreen forests. They are active and agile foragers that consume a mixed diet of insects, fruits, and nectar, often moving in pairs. Known for being quite vocal and conspicuous, their behaviour includes giving a rattling call and drumming on trees. No subspecies are generally recognised. Gemini 3 (Edited)

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Fun fact: Their diet is highly varied, including spiders, beetles, and ants, but they also eat substantial quantities of fruits, berries, seeds, and even sip nectar from large flowers, making them a true omnivore.

What bird am I? 🤔 (See Alt text for clue) 🌍 #NameThisBird #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜

This small, slender bird is known for its constant tail-wagging motion. The male in breeding plumage is striking, featuring bright yellow underparts and a yellowish-green back. A key feature is the slate-blue to grey head with a prominent white stripe above the eye (supercilium), though the exact head pattern varies considerably across its many subspecies. 2.5 Flash (Edited)
