Creating Black Cockatoo Friendly Suburbs

Landscapes in urban areas can be designed to maximise benefits to native wildlife, biodiversity and to make a healthier environment for residents. But the number of Carnaby's cockatoos visiting urban landscapes are declining and their future is uncertain.

To help secure the future of Carnaby's cockatoos adjustments need to be made: roost sites need to be protected; water sources need to be safely provided; public gardens need to provide food sources. Creating Black Cockatoo Friendly Suburbs is a guide to simple but effective measures that everyone can use whether you are a landscaper or developer to the everyday home gardener. In this book Christine Groom provides measures that everyone can use to enhance the landscape and biodiversity of our suburbs for the benefit of endangered species, like the Carnaby's cockatoo, and urban biodiversity.
