User's notes
Five glossy black cockatoos seen over a period of three hours. This pair consisted of a young female, still with 'fledgling' dots, and with unique head colouring (unsure if it will change as she ages). If I continue to see her and the colouring persists, I'll name her Rainbow. Male is last photo.

She actually is, isn't she? I hope she keeps that colouring, she'll be easily identifiable in the future
