The Red-Tailed Cockatoo’s Happy Home

for the Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo

Vulnerable

By Valentina, age 6

High on a branch sits a Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, having its favourite yummy nuts for lunch. Its black feathers are soft and fluffy, and its red tail shines brightly. It is happy in its green, bushy home, where it can eat, fly and play. I hope it can always find yummy food, big trees and a safe place to live. We must look after their homes and keep these special Australian birds safe.
