Black-Cockatoos and The Great Cocky Count! @ Dordaak Kepup Library
The Great Cocky Count is a long-term citizen science survey and the biggest single survey for black-cockatoos in Western Australia. During one night in autumn, volunteers monitor and count black-cockatoos as they arrive at dusk to roost at known sites.
Records submitted from across the southwest provide a snapshot of threatened black-cockatoo populations, and over time this has helped to work out the changes in their numbers.
During this workshop presented by BirdLife Australia, you will learn about the three species of black-cockatoos in southwest WA, their identification, biology, ecology, behaviour, threats and how to get involved with the survey.
This workshop is supported by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.
