White Tail Black Cockatoos

Today started off very interesting as I was able to 'rescue' a juvenile of one of the species of White Tail Balck Cockatoo that we have here in West Australia. It was in a bad way as I could simply bend done and cover it in my jumper and pick it up. It was feisty and peed off, however I was able to stow it in my car and get help for it. At this point in time it should be at the Perth Zoo being assessed and hopefully on the road to recovery. I met a Black Cockie carer half up to Perth and he took it the rest of the way. This man looked incredibly normal, didn't have a super hero suit on or anything, although he was very tall, however he and his wife feed and rehab these wonderful birds so that they can be released back into the wild. This is the third bird that I have 'rescued' - the first one died, however the care that it received was amateurish, so when the next one came along I saw that it was taken to the zoo. The second bird was a female and incredibly vocal and inquisitve. Her outcome was great, as two months after being 'rescued', she was brought back to the area and her 'mob' was found and she was released back with them. How did we find her mob? We 'phoned around to all the like minded people, in the area, to see if a white tail mob was near them (they can be heard for miles when they are in the vicinity) and drove there and took the cage out of the car and watched the bird. With the first two mobs, she remained inactive however with the third mob, when she heard them basically all hell broke loose in the cage. Fantastic outcome. Keep your fingers crossed.
