A compelling story of Black Cockatoos, their food, habitat, and community actions to support their long term survival. An essential read for children and parents who care about the future of Western Australia’s iconic wildlife.Description
During the 2016 Cocky Count, in April, a flock of almost 5,000 birds was found concentrated amongst the Pinjar pines, where previously the count had been less than 2,000.
It was NOT a good sign to find 46% of the population in one roost area in the pine plantation. Instead, it confirmed the importance of the Gnangara Pine Plantations as a food source for a greater number birds, as their alternative resources diminish. Yet, these food sources are scheduled to be cleared by 2030.
