'''Emo''' ([[IPA chart for English|pronounced]] {{IPA|/ˈiːmoʊ/}}) is a somewhat ambiguous [[slang]] term most frequently used to describe a fashion or subculture linked to [[post-hardcore]] fashion and its subculture. The slang term emo is best known for referring to fashion style<Ref>[http://www.dobi.nu/emo/ Dobi.nu/emo]</ref> and attitude. ''Emo'' may describe this [[fashion]] or [[emo music]], or a general emotional state (as in to "feel emo"). It is also, sometimes pejoratively, used to identify someone fitting a particular emo [[stereotype]] or category.

The '''Red-tailed Black Cockatoo''' ''(Calyptorhynchus banksii)'', also known as '''Banksian Black Cockatoo''', '''Bank's Black Cockatoo''' or '''Great-billed Cockatoo''', is a large [[cockatoo]] native to [[Australia]], being more common in the drier parts. Though widespread in the northern part of the country, two southern subspecies, the '''Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo''' and the '''South-eastern Red-tailed Black Cockatoo''' are under threat in the south.

'Emo' as a term is now sometimes used in a negative and/or derogatory fashion.

Usually found in eucalypt woodlands, or along water courses, these seed-eating cockatoos are commonly seen in large flocks in the north of the country. Populations of the south-east region of Australia are threatened by clearing of native habitat.

FUCK EMOS

The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo was the official mascot (named [[Karak (mascot)|Karak]] [http://www.melbourne2006.com.au/Karak+the+Mascot/Karak+the+Mascot.htm ]) of the [[2006 Commonwealth Games]], held in [[Melbourne]], Australia. They are one of the rarest and most expensive cage birds, usually costing over 20,000 USD.

==TaxonomyPersonality==

When referring to a person's personality and attitude, most definitions of ''emo'' hold that an emo person is emotionally candid, sensitive, shy, introverted, glum, and quiet.<ref name="gurl magazine"/> Depression and broken-heartedness are sometimes used to describe the emo personality. The factuality of broken-heartedness as a personality trait stems from the opinion that emo music contains multiple references to unrequited love, emotional and relationship problems.

Described by [[John Latham (ornithologist)|John Latham]] in 1790 as ''Psittacus banksii'',<ref>Latham, J. (1790). ''Index ornithologicus, sive Systema Ornithologiae; complectens avium divisionem in classes, ordines, genera, species, ipsarumque varietates: adjectis synonymis, locis, descriptionibus, &c. '' London: Leigh & Sotheby Vol. 1 & 2 xviii 920 pp107</ref> the scientific name honours the [[England|English]] [[botanist]] Sir [[Joseph Banks]]. The genus ''Calyptorhynchus'' was erected in 1826 by Desmarest.<ref>Desmarest, A.G. (1826). Perroquet. In Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles dans lequel on traite méthodiquement des différens êtres de la nature, considérés soit en eux-mêmes, d'après l'état actuel de nos connoissances, soit relativement à l'utilité qu'en peuvent retirer la médecine, l'agriculture, le commerce et les arts. Suivi d'une biographie des plus célèbres naturalistes. Par plusieurs Professeurs du Jardin du Roi, et des principales Écoles de Paris. Paris: F.G. Levrault 138 pp. [21, 117]</ref> For many this species was referred to as ''Calyptorhynchus magnificus'', as Mathews proposed in 1927 that this name had priority and there was confusion over which scientific name took precedence.. However, later discussion in 1994 showed that it was unclear whether the original Port Jackson reference had referred to this species or, more likely, the Glossy Black Cockatoo. In 1994, an application was made to conserve ''Calyptorhynchus banksii'' as the scientific name, which was accepted by the [[ICZN]].

===Poetry===

Emo personality is also often connected with writing poetry that addresses: [[confusion]], [[Depression (mood)|depression]], [[loneliness]], the [[futility]] of [[life]], and [[anger]], all resulting from the world's inability to understand the author. Emo poetry usually combines a highly emotional [[Tone (literary)|tone]] and [[stream of consciousness writing]] with a simple (''ABAB'') or nonexistent [[rhyme scheme]], references to the flesh, especially the [[heart]], heavy use of dark or depressing [[adjective|adjectives]], and concern over the mutability of time, love, or both. A common theme is the author's feeling that life is pain, or how misunderstood the author feels.<ref name="guide">{{cite web | last=Zafran | first=Wan | date=[[November 14]], [[2006]] | title=A Guide To Emo Culture | work=The Idiot Behind the Iron Mask | url=http://wanzafran.com/2006/i-am-an-emo-mutant-part-1/ | accessdate=2007-03-11}}</ref>

===Classification===

Its closest relative is the [[Glossy Black Cockatoo]], the two species forming the subgenus ''Calyptorhynchus'' within the genus of the same name. They are distinguished from other Black Cockatoos by their siginificant [[sexual dimorphism]].

Five subspecies are recognised, two of which are vulnerable:

==DescriptionCriticism==

In the years since emo music's rise in popularity, it has attracted criticism, often severe.<ref name="velvet">{{cite web | date=March 07, 2007 | title='Emo'-tional baggage | work=Whiskey & Notes | publisher=The Velvet Rope | url=http://weblog.signonsandiego.com/news/weblogs/nightlife/archives/008007.html | accessdate=2007-03-08}}</ref> The term ''emo'' itself is sometimes used [[pejorative]]ly, to suggest that the target is overly emotional.<ref name="gurl magazine"/> Emo has been characterized as a [[Fads and trends|fad]] that will be discarded and forgotten in the near future.<ref name="fairfield">{{cite web | last=Poretta | first=JP | date=March 03, 2007 | title=Cheer up Emo Kid, It's a Brand New Day | work=The Fairfield Mirror | url=http://media.www.fairfieldmirror.com/media/storage/paper148/news/2007/03/08/Entertainment/Cheer.Up.Emo.Kid.Its.A.Brand.New.Day-2762635.shtml | accessdate=2007-03-08}}</ref> [[Emo (music)#The third wave (2000-present)|Recent trends in music]] has also been compared to the [[teen pop]] of 1990s [[boy band]]s.<ref name="fairfield"/><ref name="badger">{{cite web | last=Ouzts | first=Emily | date=March 07, 2007 | title=The Higher’s ''On Fire'' lacks spark, plummets to lyrical lows | work=The Badger Herald | url=http://badgerherald.com/artsetc/2007/03/07/the_highers_on_fire_.php | accessdate=2007-03-08}}</ref> Critics cast the music as lacking any artistic merit and/or musical skill, the fashion as "embarrassing," and the people as imagining or pretending that they lead harsh, painful lives when they actually live in comfortable, [[middle class|middle-]] to [[upper-class]] homes.

[[Image:Redtailed.black.03.jpg|thumb|Red Tailed Black Cockatoo (Juvenile Male), Darling Scarp, Roleystone, South-West Western Australia]]

Red-tailed Black Cockatoos are around 60 [[centimetre|cm]] long. The male is all black in plumage with a bright red lateral subterminal panels in its tail and a dark grey beak. The female is also blackish with yellow-orange stripes on its tail and chest with yellow spots on its cheeks and wings with a pale horn-coloured beak.

Members of the emo subculture are portrayed as [[melodrama]]tic, [[self-pity]]ing teenagers who pour their efforts into writing poetry. The current emo subculture has been called a "sad cariacature" of what it once was.<ref name="velvet"/>

The juvenile Red-tailed Black Cockatoo resembles the female until puberty, which occurs at about four years of age, with paler yellow barred underparts. As they reach maturity, males will replace their yellow tail feathers with red ones as they moult, it takes approx 18 months to grow into its male feathers. The father will start to attack his son as soon as one red tail feathers is exposed and they must be separated if they are caged.

Some have accused emo of celebrating [[self-injury|self-harm]], which those who do usually refer to "helping ease the pain<ref name="daily mail">{{cite web | last=Sands | first=Sarah | date=[[August 16]], [[2006]] | title=EMO cult warning for parents | work=[[The Daily Mail]] | url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=400953&in_page_id=1770 | accessdate=2007-03-11}}</ref>. However, physical trauma triggers the release of [[Beta-endorphin|beta-endorphins]], which improves relaxation and reduces physical pain. Some assert that within some emo circles it is ''[[Cool (aesthetic)|cool]]'' to pretend to be suicidal and self-harming.<ref name="fairfield"/> Critics have gone so far as to contend that the emos influence is likely to cause youth to commit [[suicide]].<ref name="daily mail"/><ref name="fairfield"/>

==Grammatical usage==

==Distribution and habitat==

{{wiktionary|emo}}

The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo is widespread in drier parts of Australia, in a broad band across the northern half of the country with more isolated distribution in the south. It is dependent on large old eucalypts for their tree hollows for nesting, the specific gums used varying in different parts of the country.

The word ''emo'' can be used as either a [[noun]] or [[adjective]].<ref name="gurl magazine"/>

<br>Noun (singular): ''That person is an '''emo'''''.

They are more widespread and abundant in the north of the country and have even been considered an agricultural pest there.<ref>Lim, T.K., L. Bowman and S. Tidemann (1993). Winged Vertebrate Pest Damage in the Northern Territory. ''Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries Technical

<br>Noun (plural): ''Those people are '''emo(e)s'''''.

Bulletin No. 206'', Darwin.</ref>

<br>Adjective (1): ''All my friends are '''emo'''''.

<br>Adjective (2): ''I feel pretty '''emo''' today''.

==Behaviour==

===Diet===

Red-tailed Black Cockatoos feed on a wide variety of grains, both native and introduced (such as rice).

===Reproduction===

Red-tailed Black Cockatoos generally breed May to September, though the South-eastern subspecies nests in summer. Nesting takes place in large vertical tree hollows in tall trees. Generally somewhat isolated trees are chosen, so birds can fly to and from them relatively unhindered, and may be used for many years. Hollows can be 1-2 m deep and 0.25-0.5m wide, with a base of woodchips. A clutch consists of 1-2 white lustreless eggs, though if a second egg is laid the chick is neglected and quickly perishes.

===Conservation===

[[Image:RedTailedBlackCockatoo (Redphoenix).jpg|right|thumb|Red Tailed Black Cockatoo (male), Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia]]

The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo is protected under the ''Wildlife Protection (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Act 1982''. The export of products may be permitted under Sections 10, 10A and 44 of the Act. Under Sections 11-13 and 27-31, live exports are allowed only for legitimate zoological and scientific purposes; but not for commercial purposes.

Internationally, they are listed under Appendix II of CITES, which allows international trade in live wild-caught and captive-bred specimens, if such exports are not detrimental to wild populations.

The current Australian restrictions on commercial exports from Australia are not imposed by CITES,

The Northern Territory Department of Natural Resources, Environment and The Arts (NRETA) has introduced a management plan of the subspecies ''macrorhynchus'', which occurs in the territory's north, aimed at stemming illegal trade by limited collection of eggs and nestlings within selected 'harvest zones'. This involves the protection of these zones and the capping of 600 eggs or hatchlings a year, and marking of all captive birds with microchips. Separet permits are issued for collection and export, as well as keeping one as a pet.<ref name = "NRETA">

===Aviculture===

The species has been the subject of illegal trade.<ref>Anon. (1995). More "Renegades" Sentenced. ''Traffic USA''. '''14'''(2): 6-7.</ref>

In Australia hand raised birds can sell for as low as AU$2500 and they make great pets, rarely biting and very affectionate but won't talk like other parrots.

The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo is the most adaptable of the Black Cockatoos to captivity, and can be hardy and long lived if given plenty of space. They breed easily in cages and can lay eggs every 3 weeks between February and November ,the male will start to "sing" and strut along his perch ending in a jump and a flash of red tail feathers toward the female who most the time will reply by biting him (defensively ),once the female has one egg in her nest she will not lay another , the egg takes about 30 days to hatch , the babies eyes will open around 3 weeks and the yellow down will show black pin feathers at about 6 weeks , best time for had raising is at about 10 weeks when their black feathers are in place but the tail feathers are still short , the baby will fledge after about 4 months.
