Source: WikipediaĪuthorities recognizing this taxonomic concept: Avibase taxonomic concepts (current): Birds of subspecies funereus have longer wings and tails and darker plumage overall, while those of xanthanotus have more prominent scalloping. Two subspecies are recognised, although Tasmanian and southern mainland populations of the southern subspecies xanthanotus may be distinct enough from each other to bring the total to three. The yellow-tailed black cockatoo is found in temperate forests and forested areas across south and central eastern Queensland to southeastern South Australia, including a very small population persisting in the Eyre Peninsula. The whiteae is found south of Victoria to the East of South Australia and is smaller in size. Their loud, wailing calls carry for long distances. In flight, yellow-tailed black cockatoos flap deeply and slowly, with a peculiar heavy fluid motion. The adult male has a black beak and pinkish-red eye-rings, and the female has a bone-coloured beak and grey eye-rings. The body feathers are edged with yellow giving a scalloped appearance. Its plumage is mostly brownish black and it has prominent yellow cheek patches and a yellow tail band.

It has a short crest on the top of its head. The yellow-tailed black cockatoo is a large cockatoo native to the south-east of Australia measuring 55–65 cm (22–26 in) in length.
