Well that is odd, they are Yellow-tailed Black-cockatoo but on here they are listed as Zanda funereus ?

No worries, still i find it strange that it is listed here as Zanda funereus and not Calyptorhynchus funereus ?

Hi all, re the name, I'm not sure.... eBird (and most other sources) use Calyptorhynchus funereus. I'll leave it for others. I would personally be more inclined to say Calyptorhynchus (it seems to be the bulk consensus from what I've seen) but I'm no taxonomic expert. Maybe someone else can shed better light on the matter. Otherwise we'll leave as is for now.
