The striking pose – “look at me – aren’t I cute” – instantly drew me to this subject. I call him Jacko as he seems very confident and self-aware – much like the quintessential aussie bloke!

Jacko is now the showcased image on the label for delicious Korijekup Honey created by Exploration Honey based in Harvey, Western Australia.

The red-tailed black cockatoo is a large black cockatoo native to Australia. Adult males have a characteristic pair of bright red panels on the tail that gives the species its name. It is more common in the drier parts of the continent. Five subspecies are recognized, differing most significantly in beak size. Although the more northerly sub species are widespread, the two southern subspecies, the forest red-tailed black cockatoo, and the south-eastern red-tailed black cockatoo are under threat.

The species is usually found in eucalyptus woodlands, or along water courses. In the more northerly parts of the country, these cockatoos are commonly seen in large flocks. They are seed eaters and cavity nesters, and as such depend on trees with fairly large diameters, generally Eucalyptus. Populations in southeastern Australia are threatened by deforestation and other habitat alterations.
