Andy,
It seems 3 species seem to be found in Australia, so where are you seeing 6 species?
Asher
I'm in South Eastern Australia.
The species I see are Gang Gang cockatoo, White Cockatoo (also known as sulphur crested), Glossy Black cockatoo, Little Corella, Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo and Galah.
In other parts of the country there are other species too, about another seven I think.
From memory the only Cockatoo found outside of Australia is the Palm Cockatoo ( also found in Aus.) which is found in New Guinea.
This is a female Gang Gang feeding on acacia seeds.
Gang Gangs are very cool, as with all the cockatoos, very intelligent, long lived and full of character. Gang Gangs I've noticed have little fear of humans, this one is completely wild and I was using an 85mm lens for this shot, almost touching distance.
