Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo using a ‘giant’ nest box - over 1m deep! There’s been excellent long-term research in West Aus into the conservation of this beautiful species. Loss of nesting & foraging habitat is the cause of the decline of these beauties
Thx @Aquila84WA
Wedge-tailed Eagle ecologist Simon Cherriman has been installing wildlife nest boxes in areas affected by catastrophic fires here in Noongar Country. He's put a book together and has a GoFundMe to get it printed. $45 gets you a copy!

Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos have received great support through the provision of nest boxes - really big boxes!!! Over 1m deep, replicating large old tree hollows
This is a great example of research, experimentation, & monitoring information conservation actions
The deliberate poisoning of at least 136 wedge-tailed eagles in East Gippsland could have Australia-wide consequences, based on the research of Simon Cherriman @Aquila84WAtheconversation.com/mass-sla…
We can now confirm 136 Wedge-tailed Eagles found hidden throughout property in bushland & scrub. We believe numbers may be higher than what we seized. At this stage no charges have been laid, but we have someone helping us with our enquiry. Contact @CrimeStopperVic with any info

Household rat poison is being blamed for the demise of the common boobook owl population, which is ironic because this raptor is a natural predator of vermin. (Pic by @Aquila84WA ) abc.net.au/news/2017-12-06/b…
