The Glossy Black CockatooThe endangered Glossy Black-Cockatoo population on Kangaroo Island was fortunate to escape with relatively minor damage from the December fires.Habitats in the Western River area suffered the most damage, where significant tracts of both sheoak foraging habitat and nest trees were burnt.
Other areas of cockatoo foraging and nesting habitat were burnt in the Flinders Chase fire.
