They're called "glossy", but they're not known for seeking the limelight.
Indeed, for decades South Australia's glossy black cockatoo population seems to have confined itself to Kangaroo Island.
But twitchers and wildlife authorities are hoping that might be about to change following the first confirmed sighting of the elusive bird on SA's mainland in about 50 years.
"The species of black cocky that we see most of the time around the Adelaide area and the Mount Lofty Ranges is the yellow-tailed black cockatoo," National Parks and Wildlife Service conservation ecologist Anthony Abley said.
