User's notes

6 cockatoos discovered this tree, ridden with grubs. 1 female was particularly skillful and impressive to watch, methodically stripping and grubbing with regular success, while the others had a more of a 'scatter gun' approach and were less prolific in their results.

Pretty sure the grubs are longhorn beetle larvae. :) Tasty!
