Great to be out together this weekend for our Killarney Bushcare gathering, focused on our glossy black cockatoo project.
Members visited the newly installed nesting boxes and made a fantastic contribution to citizen science by mapping over 150 forest sheoak trees (Allocasuarina torulosa) carrying the cones that are the glossies’ only food source.
Even better, we recorded 6 trees with clear signs of recent feeding. A rewarding result that shows not only strong food availability, but that glossy black-cockatoos are actively using the area.
Every data point helps build a clearer picture - and supports the long-term protection of this special species.
