Hello, and welcome to my blog! I am still in the process of writing my first posts, but you can still check out the other areas of my blog.
The URBAN COCKATOOS tab contains some information about my research project, which looks at the urban ecology of the forest red-tailed black-cockatoo in Perth.
The LINKS tab contains links to other cockatoo related websites and resources, which will be added to over time.
The CONTACT tab contains all my contact details. Feel free to send me any info about cockatoos, and also suggestions for future posts. What do YOU want to hear about?
And of course, if you see any red-tails in the Perth metro area, or in the Jarrah forest, please email me!
Thank you!
