Latest Red-tail News

In July 2011 BirdLife Australia and the South-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo Recovery Team launched and trialled an innovative new Nest Incentive Scheme from a grant obtained from the Nature Foundation of South Australia, in an attempt to locate ‘new’ nest sites of the endangered South-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo across the species range in south-eastern South Australia and south-western Victoria.
 
The scheme, which rewarded landholders and members of the public for the discovery of new nests, has proved to be a great success with a total of 31 new nests located since July 2011. In the 2016-2017 season a record of nine new nests were found near Casterton and Edenhope thanks to the reports from local landholders and the work of Richard Hill and PhD student Daniella Teixeira.  This is the latest media release about the scheme.
