Flight to the Future: New project gives boost to Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos

The iconic Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo, a well-loved resident of the Wheatbelt, is receiving further funding to enhance and protect their Wheatbelt habitat into the future.

This project is building on the achievements of our last black-cockatoo project and continuing to partner with Wheatbelt landholders to secure critical Carnaby’s habitat across their breeding range.

Activities will focus on both breeding and feeding habitat and include things like installing artificial nests, controlling pest animals, protecting remnant vegetation through fencing, and revegetating with cockatoo specific species.

A vital aspect of the project relies on knowing where Carnaby’s are spending their time when they’re here and how they’re behaving. This is where we rely on our community to let us know what they’re seeing to help target our conservation efforts.

Help us protect these birds and their habitat into the future by reporting any sightings you have!
