Black/grey cockatoo, with no red or yellow markings that I could see.

Thanks - so the females have no red markings? We often get the ones with red in our backyard, but haven’t seen a full black one. It swooped my son and I (with our dog) twice - quite a deliberate action.

The female is predominately grey but her belly is tinged with pink and white. From the Cockatoos viewpoint your dog is a predator, which may explain the swooping
