Like a bird on the wire - (Red tailed black cockatoo) - Photo of the day

18 March 2009 - Fremantle, Australia

A few noisy red tailed black cockatoos perched on the tree in the back garden a few days ago. They are really pretty when they fly and the red in their tail really flashes. They are a little harder to take pictures of when they are in trees, the red doesn't show as much, nor does the gold speckles on their chest.
