The endangered Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo has shown that it won’t turn up its beak at a nesting tube, with seven chicks found in four artificial hollows during surveys by Wheatbelt NRM.
This Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo project being undertaken by Wheatbelt NRM through Australian Government funding supports landholders to protect and improve the habitat values of Carnabys’ breeding and foraging sites, which also benefits Wheatbelt Eucalypt Woodland Threatened Ecological Communities (TEC) where they co-exist. Project actions include revegetating the highly fragmented landscape with key food plants, improving nesting habitat through controlling stock access, regeneration, pest management, and erecting artificial nesting structures.
