It look me a flip through the index of my field guide but I eventually figured
out that you're talking about Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos. I saw one fly
through our back yard in Kambah a few weeks ago and I agree, it's fabulous to
see such birds in suburbia or a major city. The most I've ever seen in one
place was a flock of about 50 in Port Macquarie many years ago.
I'd love to get a really good recording of their call.
