About the event

Creating Black Cockatoo Friendly Suburbs with Dr Christine Groom

Carnaby’s cockatoos are a part of the fabric of Perth. Their loud calls, messy feeding habits and endearing personalities make them easily recognisable to anyone living or visiting the suburbs of Perth.

Creating Black Cockatoo Friendly Suburbs provides the ‘how-to’ in a user-friendly way to help the survival of Carnaby’s cockatoos and enhance urban biodiversity.

Dr. Christine Groom is a member of Birdlife Australia. She is also an Adjunct Research Fellow at UWA. Christine lives in the Perth hills and Carnaby’s cockatoos regularly visit her garden to feed on and prune the banksias and hakeas planted for them. In 2015, Christine completed her PhD on Carnaby’s cockatoos in urban Perth by satellite tracking study birds and following their daily movements.
