United front continues for Carnaby's fight
WESTERN Australian research groups and conservationists are continuing to work together in the fight to conserve the Carnaby’s black cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus latirostris) which has long been recognised as the Swan Coastal Plain’s most iconic bird, once blackening Perth skies with countless flock sizes – now seriously endangered.

Scientist says logging no threat to cockatoos
A WA scientist has added fuel to the debate over logging and its impact on endangered cockatoos as the Government seeks public comment on its draft forest management plan.
In a recent letter to the West Australian newspaper, WA Institute of Foresters chairman John Clarke rejected claims that logging affected Carnaby’s cockatoos, saying they mainly inhabited the coastal plain and Wheatbelt, not forests.
However, WA Museum ornithologist Ron Johnstone confirmed Carnaby’s cockatoos were moving west and south into the forest in search of food and nesting sites.
