About the event

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.
However, their numbers are declining as their habitats are being lost to development and other threats.
Join Dr Christine Groom, Senior Environmental Officer, to learn how to help secure the future of Carnaby’s Cockatoos in our suburbs.
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 is a book to show home gardeners ways to help the survival of Carnaby’s Cockatoos and enhance urban biodiversity.
Books available for sale.
