Creating Black cockatoo Friendly Suburbs: Saving Carnaby's in an urban context

Carnaby's cockatoos are a part of the fabric of Perth. Their loud calls, messy feeding habits and endearing personalities make them easily recognisable to anyone living or visiting the suburbs of Perth. But their numbers are declining as their habitats are lost to development and other threats. To help secure the future of Carnaby's cockatoos our suburbs need to be better suited to their needs. Planning, landscaping and gardening with black cockatoos in mind will not only help the species but it will also create greener, cooler suburbs for everyone to enjoy. Creating Black Cockatoo Friendly Suburbs provides the 'how-to' in a user-friendly way to bridge the gap for planners, policy makers, scientists, home gardeners and naturalists to help the survival of Carnaby's cockatoos and enhance urban biodiversity.
