Abstract
Report prepared for the Wimmera Catchment Management Authority.
The nationally endangered south-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus banksii graptogyne (RtBC) is an ecological specialist, feeding exclusively on the seeds of Brown Stringybark Eucalyptus baxteri, Desert Stringybark E. arenacea and Buloke Allocasuarina luehmannii. The ongoing decline in quality and quantity of food resources has been identified by the Recovery Team as the major threat to the cockatoo, while the availability of nesting hollows, although not currently limiting, may become important in the future as large hollowbearing trees are lost.
