  • Little and Long-Billed Corellas Learning to Use a New Food Source, the Seeds of Marri
    136 AUSTRALIAN FIELD ORNITHOLOGY 2008, 25 , 136–139 Little and Long-billed Corellas Learning to Use a New Food Source, the Seeds of Marri ALLAN H. BURBIDGE Department of Environment and Conservation, P.O. Box 51, Wanneroo, Western Australia 6946 (Email: [email protected]) Summary . It has been shown that corellas Cacatua spp. are not capable of breaking open the larger, woody capsules of eucalypts to feed on the enclosed seeds. However, since being introduced to south-western Australia, both Long-billed C. tenuirostris and Little Corellas C. sanguinea have learnt to extract the large seeds of Marri Corymbia calophylla by modifying their feeding behaviour to tip out the seeds of the open capsules into the bill. Few birds eat eucalypt seeds, with some obvious exceptions being the Red- capped Parrot Purpureicephalus spurius and the black-cockatoos Calyptorhynchus spp. of south-western Australia (Woinarski et al . 1997). In particular, it is well known that these species feed on the seeds of Marri Corymbia calophylla , formerly Eucalyptus calophylla . (Both Eucalyptus and Corymbia species are hereinafter referred to as ‘eucalypts’, for ease of reference and because much of the literature on eucalypts refers to all of the previously recognised subgenera of Eucalyptus as ‘eucalypts’). Marri, which is common and widespread in south-western Australia, has hard, woody capsules (locally called ‘honky nuts’), measuring up to ~5 cm long and up to ~3.5 cm in diameter. Baudin’s Black-Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus baudinii extracts the seeds with its long upper mandible, causing little damage to the seed-capsules, Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo C.

It is a small parrot with a variety of color patterns and a head crest. They are attractive as well as friendly. They are capable of mimicking speech, although they can be difficult to understand. These birds are good at whistling and you can teach them to sing along to tunes. Life Expectancy: 15 to 20 years with proper care, and sometimes as Cockatiels as 30 years though this is rare. In their native Australia, cockatiels are Cockatiels quarrions or weiros. They primarily live in the Cockatiels, a region of the northern part of the Cockatiels. Discovered inthey are the smallest members of the cockatoo family. They exhibit many of the Cockatiels features and habits as the larger Cockatiels. In the wild, they live in large flocks. Cockatiels became Cockatiels as pets during the s. They are easy to breed in captivity and their docile, friendly personalities make them a natural fit for Cockatiels life.

    Bird Guide for the Great Western Woodlands Male Gilbert’s Whistler: Chris Tzaros Whistler: Male Gilbert’s Western Australia PART 1. GWW NORTHERN Southern Cross Kalgoorlie Widgiemooltha birds are in our nature ® Australia AUSTRALIA Introduction The birds and places of the north-west region of the Great Western Woodlands are presented in this booklet. This area includes tall woodlands on red soils, shrublands on yellow sand plains and mallee on sand and loam soils. Landforms include large granite outcrops, Banded Ironstone Formation (BIF) Ranges, extensive natural salt lakes and a few freshwater lakes. The Great Western Woodlands At 16 million hectares, the Great Western Woodlands (GWW) is close to three quarters the size of Victoria and is the largest remaining intact area of temperate woodland in the world. It is located between the Western Australian Wheatbelt and the Nullarbor Plain. BirdLife Australia and The Nature Conservancy joined forces in 2012 to establish a long-term project to study the birds of this unique region and to determine how we can best conserve the woodland birds that occur here. Kalgoorlie 1 Groups of volunteers carry out bird surveys each year in spring and autumn to find out the species present, their abundance and to observe their behaviour. If you would like to know more visit http://www.birdlife.org.au/projects/great-western-woodlands If you would like to participate as a volunteer contact [email protected]. All levels of experience are welcome. The following six pages present 48 bird species that typically occur in four different habitats of the north-west region of the GWW, although they are not restricted to these.

  • Three Rare Parrots Added to Appendix I of CITES !
    PsittaScene In this Issue: Three Rare Parrots Added To Appendix I of CITES ! Truly stunning displays PPsittasitta By JAMIE GILARDI In mid-October I had the pleasure of visiting Bolivia with a group of avid parrot enthusiasts. My goal was to get some first-hand impressions of two very threatened parrots: the Red-fronted Macaw (Ara rubrogenys) and the Blue-throated Macaw (Ara SceneScene glaucogularis). We have published very little about the Red-fronted Macaw in PsittaScene,a species that is globally Endangered, and lives in the foothills of the Andes in central Bolivia. I had been told that these birds were beautiful in flight, but that Editor didn't prepare me for the truly stunning displays of colour we encountered nearly every time we saw these birds. We spent three days in their mountain home, watching them Rosemary Low, fly through the valleys, drink from the river, and eat from the trees and cornfields.

Box 360, Proserpine QLD 4800, Australia. Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author. Abstract. Two species of corella, the Little Corella Cacatua sanguinea and Long-billed Corella C. tenuirostris, have been introduced into south-western Western Australia. To determine how they used the landscape, we undertook a wing-tagging study in 2012–2013 to monitor movements of individual birds. Sixty-two birds (44 Little Corellas and 18 Long-billed Corellas) were tagged and released from five sites and a total of 390 sightings was recorded over a 7-year period. There was a significant difference in the mean distances from tagging sites that corella species were sighted, with Little Corellas travelling further than Long-billed Corellas. The greatest distance from its tagging site recorded for a Little Corella was 145 km and for a Long-billed Corella was 77 km. Introduction that moved over an area of 250 km2, with individual birds regularly making a 55-km post-breeding movement to Invasive species can have multiple and often unpredicted Dalwallinu. It is likely that, historically, Butler’s Corellas impacts on native plant and animal communities, yet the made similar post-breeding movements but these were biology of many such species is not well known (Long not recorded.

Simpsons Gap, well captured in early morning light by Cliff Hensel. We started off the tour in Sydney with a visit to Centennial Park, where we were fortunate to meet up with Steve Howard, who took us to several of his favorite birding sites and got us onto a Powerful Owl which would have otherwise been impossible to find. Several of us also enjoyed feeding figs to a Common Brushtail Possum roosting in the area. We then headed over to the Sydney Botanical Garden for another Powerful Owl and a nice view of the Sydney harbour. The next morning, we headed over to Royal National Park and had a great morning walking along the Lady Carrington Drive. Lots of wonderful birds, with Superb Lyrebird being the most memorable. After a cafe lunch, we tracked down a wonderful pair of Rockwarblers. After our flight to Melbourne, we headed to the Western Treatment Plant for a tour with Paul. We had a great tour of Werribee, with some good shorebird action and a nice mix of ducks and waterbirds. From there we made our way back to St. Kilda, and an evening visit to the harbor to watch Little Penguins come ashore. The following morning we made a brief stop at the Serendip Sanctuary to see the Cape Barren Geese before heading on to Pt. Addis on the Great Ocean Road, where we had fantastic views of a Rufous Bristlebird family.

Recovery Plans outline the recovery actions that are required to address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. Recovery Plans delineate, justify and schedule management actions necessary to support the recovery of threatened species and ecological communities. This Recovery Plan has been developed with the involvement and cooperation of a range of stakeholders, but individual stakeholders have not necessarily committed to undertaking specific actions. The attainment of objectives and the provision of funds may be subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved. Proposed actions may be subject to modification over the life of the plan due to changes in knowledge. Information in this Recovery Plan was accurate at October 2013. Recovery Plan Preparation: This Recovery Plan was originally prepared by J. Goldberg, K. Bleby and P. Mawson. Citation: Department of Parks and Wildlife (2013).
