Listed as vulnerable, the council and a collected team of biologists and researchers have asked for “endangered” status. In efforts to help reverse declines for the gang-gang cockatoo (and other creatures), the Eurobodalla Shire Council, an organization that oversees many aspects of the Australian world including conservation, environment controls, land oversight, and much, much more, has begun to build nest boxes to replace the loss of the natural nesting hollows.Ĭurrently, the conservation status does not appropriately indicate the dangers of reduction to the once-vibrant population of these birds. With climate issues and other changes to habitats looming, along with more fire threats, the gang-gang cockatoo could be nearly wiped out if steps aren’t taken to change things. The fires further declined that by approximately 25%, which is all by itself a frightening downward percentile. Before the fires, a noticeable population decline had already been attached to the bird. The widespread bushfires that decimated much of the continent’s flora and animal population in recent years have further impacted the concerns of extinction.ĭue to the fires, the community of gang-gang cockatoos were impacted by the loss of natural nesting locations, referred to as hollows. Once considered a vibrant and productive species, the gang-gang cockatoo population in Australia has been in decline over the past two decades. Recently, the alert has been raised for the gang-gang cockatoo, an Australian native bird endemic to the southeastern regions of the continent. Of course, there are other species, far too many for any comfort level. A small collection of Spix’s macaw are in captivity, so there is hope for a fruitful return to their natural habitat. Others include the Spix’s Macaw, which has not been seen in the wild since 2000.
This includes birds like the New Caledonian Lorikeet, which has been unseen since 1987. Some of the majestic birds have already become extinct. Declines in numbers for many of our exotic birds have plagued the parrot world for many decades.
