All three species of Western Austalian Black Cockatoos are listed as THREATENED under state and federal legislation.
This is mainly due to land clearing for urban development and agriculture and the fierce competition for the remaining nesting hollows from Galahs, Correllas and feral bees.
Artificial nest boxes may be their only hope for survival.
