The “kree kree” call of the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo sounds like a trumpet, announcing the presence of Australia’s beloved ‘cockie’. Equally unique is its endlessly fascinating plumage, resembling a star-scattered night sky.

Cockatoos are socially monogamous, with pair bonds lasting many years. They munch all day in large flocks, feasting on fruits, berries, nectar and flowers, and sometimes even insects and larvae. Then as the sun goes down they return to their roosts.

Cockatoos nest is tree hollows and need large, mature trees for their habitat. Unfortunately land clearing is impacting suitable habitat for these magnificent birds. This bushgift supports our work to buy nature reserves, often protecting old growth woodlands and forests with big, ‘cockie’-friendly trees.

Bushgifts support our vital conservation work and help return the bush to good health.

We’re a unified force for nature, grounded in science and culture. We work to heal and protect the bush, now and for future generations. Bush Heritage Australia is a leading not-for-profit conservation organisation that protects ecosystems and wildlife across the continent. We use the best science, conservation and right-way knowledge to deliver landscape-scale impact. We’re on the ground, working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the agricultural sector to make sure our impact is deep, sustainable and collaborative.
