WILD FUTURES - Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo


The south-eastern subspecies of the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii graptogyne) is in trouble!  As the effects of land clearing have combined with pressures from introduced predators, numbers of this once common species have diminished across the Victoria-South Australian border country.  Now, scant and ageing Buloke and Stringbark trees are among the last seasonal food sources for this distinctive bird.

Urgent works to replant trees and protect nesting sites have been underway for some time and Conservation Volunteers is taking additional steps to rehabilitate remnant bushland and farm properties to add extra momentum to the recovery effort.

You can assist with this vital conservation initiative by volunteering in western Victoria or donating valuable funds to ensure that these iconic birds do not disappear forever.
