Every year, we call on bird lovers across southeast Queensland and north-eastern NSW to help gather data about one of Australia’s rarest and smallest cockatoos – the Glossy Black-Cockatoo.

Everyday people and experienced birders alike will come together this September to learn how to identify this charismatic bird, identify feed trees, recognise signs of feeding and to record bird behaviour.

The Glossy Black Conservancy coordinates the annual Birding Day and is an alliance of local councils, conservationists, scientists and community organisations who share a common goal of working towards securing the Glossy Black-Cockatoo’s future in southeast Queensland and north-eastern NSW.

While we’re seeking volunteers to join us for our annual Birding Day, Glossy Black-Cockatoo sightings can be recorded anytime at glossyblack.org.au.
