Bill Jolly (12 Feb) reported that Red-tailed Black Cockatoos had turned up
at Abberton (Lockyer Valley, SE Qld).

The car-park beside the Brisbane-Ipswich highway at Gailes Railway station
has several Pine trees (Pinus sp).  I stopped there yesterday to renew my
supply of B-B-Q fire-lighters (pine cones) and found that over 50% of all
fallen cones had been thoroughly 'chewed'.  It seems to me that only a large
cockatoo would have the strength for this.

Any suggestions?
