Endangered Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos (Calyptorhynchus latirostris) are found only in south-western Australia. They are large birds 55-60 cm long that migrate to and from inland breeding areas to the west and south coastal plains. Carnaby’s Cockatoos nest in large tree hollows, laying their eggs on a bed of wood chips. One or two eggs are laid and incubated for 28-29 days by the female who broods her young alone while being fed by the male. Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos use their short massive bills to shred the hard cones of Banksia trees and more recently introduced Monterey Pines (Pinus radiata). In this video a female Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo is destroying a green cones on a Banksia integrifolia tree and extracting the seeds to eat.
