Funnily enough, this looks almost exactly like the Red-tailed Black Cockatoos that we have lots of around here.

The Black Cockatoos are rather more uncommon around here, so it always delights me when I see them. I believe there's also a white-tailed variety down Victoria way.

I assume the Superbs are much like the Splendids, in that their colouration really doesn't convert to photos well, utterly failing to capture the sheer intensity of their plumage.

I suspect so, though I need to travel out west some day to see the Splendids for myself.

Proper Swan. All Proper Swans are black. Non-black swans are just weird.

This is correct. :D

Glad you enjoyed the photos.
