Desperately seeking cockies

Have you seen any black-cockatoos with white tails lately? Maybe you used to see them but they have disappeared recently. If so, BirdLife Australia wants to hear from you.

BirdLife Australia is asking people across the Wheatbelt and Great Southern Regions to be on

the lookout for the large, white-tailed black-cockatoos known as Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos between now and Christmas, and report any sightings.

The population of Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos has been shrinking since the 1950s, and BirdLife Australia is keen to hear from anybody who sees the birds so that we can determine how many

there are and exactly where they still occur. Farmers, townies, schoolkids, Landcare and community groups can all take part and play a vi-

tal role in helping us to save this iconic species. It’s important that local communities get be-hind the survey — it will make a significant difference to the birds’ survival.

Their survival depends on overcoming various different factors — the loss of nesting and feeding habitat, competition for nesting hollows, illegal shooting and poisoning, being hit by

cars and trucks, climate change… the list goes on and on, but across the Wheatbelt and Great Southern regions, the loss of feeding habitat near their nesting sites is the greatest risk, at

least in the short term. If you’d like to get involved, or would like more information, contact BirdLife Australia’s Matt

Fossey on (08) 9287 2204. It is important that any sightings be reported as soon as possible. The easiest way to do this is via the BirdLife Australia website (http://www.birdlife.org.au/

projects/carnabys-black-cockatoo-recovery/breeding-range-survey); it takes only a few moments to complete.

Take a photo and be part of WA Mosaic! Propel Youth Arts is once again running the Mosaic project. Take a photo anywhere in WA on 28 September and send it to Propel. Your photo will be exhibited together with the others at an exhibition from 4 – 15 November at Brookfield Place Lobby in Perth.
