The red-followed dark cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii) otherwise called Banksian-or Banks' dark cockatoo is an enormous dark cockatoo local to Australia. Grown-up guys have a trademark pair of dazzling red boards on the tail that gives the species its name. It is more not unexpected in the drier pieces of the mainland. Five subspecies are perceived, varying essentially in snout size. Albeit the more northerly subspecies are boundless, the two southern subspecies, the woods red-followed dark cockatoo and the south-eastern red-followed dark cockatoo are under danger.
The species is typically found in eucalyptus forests, or alongside streams. In the more northerly pieces of the country, these cockatoos are generally found in enormous herds. They are seed eaters and hole nesters, and as such rely upon trees with genuinely huge measurements, for the most part, Eucalyptus. Populaces in southeastern Australia are undermined by deforestation and other environmental modifications. Of the dark cockatoos, the red-followed is the most versatile to aviculture, albeit dark cockatoos are a lot more extraordinary and significantly more costly in aviculture outside Australia.
