"No worries" -- said bird species (Probosciger aterrimus) alias the great black cockatoo -- is, as its name suggests, a very large (as such entities go) cockatoo, found in New Guinea and north-eastern Australia. I discovered bird and name in childhood -- in a book which we had, must have been from the 19th century, of "creatures of the world"; "Goliath Aratoo" just struck me as a most magnificent name, for no matter what variety of wildlife.

As above: @MotCO, the floor is yours.
