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.
It is unlikely that any Glossy Black-Cockatoos were injured or killed directly as a result of the fires, since observations during the annual census a month earlier suggested that few Glossies were then occupying the areas that burned.
