Redland IndigiScapes Centre has glossy black-cockatoo conservation events happening in the next two months and we’re putting the call out for volunteers.
These stunning birds are unfortunately one of the more threatened species of cockatoo in Australia, and listed as vulnerable in Queensland.
It’s easy to help, just sign-up for the glossy black-cockatoo annual survey or the food and habitat tree planting.
