User's notes

A pair of Gang gang cockatoos observed foraging in an Acacia bush (approximately 3 metres tall), photos supplied of Acacia species, suspected A. cultriformis. Male remained in bush while we walked past, the female retreated into the higher eucalypt behind the tree. No hollows observed in the immediate area.

Thanks I think it is Acacia pravissima and interesting that they are eating the wattle flowering buds
