Red-tailed Black Cockatoos are often seen flying in small flocks, although flocks of up to 200 birds have been sighted in the northern range of distribution. These flocks consist of pairs, family groups, or parties of several family groups
Red-tailed Black Cockatoos primarily feed high in tree tops on eucalyptus seeds, nuts, fruit and occasionally insect larvae.
