I noticed two Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo fly into the neighbours large Eucalyptus mannifera on dusk last night and was glad when I awoke this morning to hear the incessant begging of a dependant young bird outside my bedroom window, whilst the parent bird was feeding on the seeds of a mature Banksia marginata.  The adult bird was a female, so an absent father on this occasion.  After she had finished feeding on the Banksia seeds and had flown into a E mannifera in the reserve out the back, I was able to get a photo of her feeding the young bird (attached - size 95 KB).
