Glossy black cockatoos under pressure from development in NSW
Submitted by Chickowee on 04 Jun 2018.
Once abundant, the glossy black cockatoo is being wiped out across eastern Australia with one of its remaining habitats south of Sydney under threat from development.
Experts say the glossy blacks are doing it tough and without community support they will not survive.
The native birds are endangered across Australia, from central Queensland to East Gippsland in Victoria.
They're listed as vulnerable in New South Wales.
Those documenting the elusive bird's decline say it is being driven by land clearing and the disappearance of their homes and only food source.
