Carnaby's black cockatoo's nest in eucalyptus hollows is high in trees, making habitat loss to land clearing and development a crisis for their survival. Consequently, the Federal and Western Australian governments list the Carnaby's black cockatoo as an endangered species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) also classified this species as endangered. Being a big fan of parrots, I found it a thrill to encounter a small flock of these birds on their far northern recorded range at Kalbari National Park, Western Australia.
