Carnaby’s black cockatoo

Scientific Name: Calyptorhynchus latirostris

Carnaby’s mate for life and the female will often return to the same nesting area – and even the same tree hollow– year after year. The birds can live up to 50 years.
The charismatic Carnaby’s black cockatoo is sometimes called the white-tailed black cockatoo. A large cockatoo growing to 58 centimetres long and weighing up to 790 grams, its feathers are black to grey-black with a white or cream edge. It has white patches on its ears and tail. Once common in south-west Western Australia, its population has decreased by 50 per cent in the last 50 years due to habitat clearing and it is now listed as endangered.

Identification 54-56 cm. Large, black cockatoo. Adult male has large black bill, erectile crest, white patch on ear-coverts and white panels in tail. Female similar except patch on ear-coverts slightly bigger and yellowish white and bill is bone-coloured rather than black or greyish black. Juvenile similar to adult female. Similar spp. May be confused with Long-billed Black-cockatoo C. baudinii, but calls slightly different and tip of upper mandible much shorter, and appears broader when seen head-on, although good views are necessary. Distinguished from Red-tailed Black-cockatoo C. banksii by white panels in tail. Voice Generally noisy with several calls, loudest and most frequent is wailing wy-lah.(C. baudinii similar but sightly 'clipped'). Hints Formerly widespread in the Western Australian wheatbelt and on Swan Coastal Plain. Also occurs in forested areas, overlapping in distribution with C. baudinii. Usually seen in small groups, sometimes large flocks.

Pošto je "the short bill cockatoo" još jedan od naziva za ovu pticu, možda biste čak mogli da prevedete istu kao "belorepi kratkokljuni crni kakadu"...Ali to je samo ideja, the final decision is up to you : )
