A Carnaby’s black cockatoo feeding.COMMUNITY and environmental groups aiming to protect the habitat of WA’s endangered black cockatoos have formed a partnership.

The Cockatoo Coalition has set up an action website cockatoosneedyou.org.au addressed to Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke and WA Premier Colin Barnett, asking for Government intervention to ensure the future of the birds.

The coalition wants West Australians to add their voices to the call for help by either writing to the politicians or signing an online petition via the website.

The Department of Environment and Conservation recently released 28 rehabilitated Carnaby’s black cockatoos back into their natural habitat at Yanchep National Park.
