Shady Glen Caravan Park Darwin August 2011

Red-tailed and yellow-tailed black cockatoos frequent the caravan park every afternoon about 5:30 p.m.

Not far from our van is a tree that has green fruit and this is where they perch making noises and biting into the fruit. 

The fruit (about the size of an apricot) is chomped from the branches and after one bite, it is dropped to the ground unless a car is parked underneath. 

I nearly had one land on my head as I was concentrating on taking photos.

not a good photo but I did get the red tail

 The flock has about a dozen birds and it's not something that we see in SA.
