Photographer Matt Deakin spent the summer observing and photographing the forest red-tailed black cockatoos of Kalamunda, WA.

Like the name suggests, these black cockatoos are forest dwellers, and need trees to survive. Whether it is tree hollows for breeding or seeds to snack on from jarrah, marri and sheoaks.

It was once fairly common to hear the calls of the karrak (Noongar language), but now it is becoming more and more unusual as their forest homes are destroyed. Birds are increasingly seen in urban areas as competition for food and shelter increases.

Thank you to .miles.away for sharing these stunning photographs of these beautiful birds 💚 If you’d like to be featured next, don’t forget to tag your images with
