A Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo flew over my house recently with an angry
Magpie in hot pursuit. It certainly wasn't quiet or melodious.
However, in comparison to the large flocks of noisy Red-tailed Black
Cockatoos, Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos are generally quieter and more
melodious - to my ear anyway (probably damaged by years of loud music!)

Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos?
Quiet?
Melodious?
Uh, OK. In comparison, I guess...
