 The yellow @-@ tailed black cockatoo is found in forested regions from south and central eastern Queensland to southeastern South Australia including a very small population persisting in the Eyre Peninsula . Two subspecies are recognised , although Tasmanian and southern mainland populations of the southern subspecies xanthanotus may be distinct enough from each other to bring the total to three . Birds of subspecies funereus ( Queensland to eastern Victoria ) have longer wings and tails and darker plumage overall , while those of xanthanotus ( western Victoria , South Australia and Tasmania ) have more prominent scalloping .
