Get involved in helping save Perth’s Ngoolarks (Carnaby's cockatoos)
Starting from home, you can make small modifications in your garden by planting some Carnaby-friendly food or by providing shallow clean water for native birds. You can get involved with some of our partner organisations and councils in community planting programs, or you can also volunteer at specialist organisations dedicated to black cockatoo conservation, which offer very successful programs focusing on care, rescue and rehabilitation of injured black cockatoos.
