Yellow-tailed Black cockatoo Kelly's Swamp

[Lindell <>]

This one was flying over Kelly's in January with a large pine cone. The other does appear to have a beak problem.

I’ve had a sulphur-crested cockatoo with an overgrown beak visiting my place on and off for several years. Its feathers always look good. A while ago someone told me that they had set a trap and caught it and taken to the RSPCA, who trimmed its beak and released it again. The beak grew back.

Looks very much like beak & feather disease. But the feathers look good……..

One of 6 flying over and squawking loudly. Is there something wrong with this one's beak?
