Volunteers needed for spring Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo count – Greater Perth-Peel Region

Registrations are now open for our October Spring FRTBC Count scheduled to take place on the evening of Sunday 10th October. This count was started several years ago in an effort to more closely monitor the movements of Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoos (FRTBCs) during the spring, given their recent influx onto the Swan Coastal Plain (SCP) during the Great Cocky Counts in autumn. We are interested to see if their movements will follow a similar seasonal pattern to Carnaby’s. This is the first year we have opened up registrations to the wider public as we look to expand the number of sites included.

To register please go to https://forms.gle/3sCSuiZZLoQouuK26

Please note only FRTBC roost sites in the Greater Perth-Peel Region (Harvey to Lancelin and inland to York) will be prioritised and included in this count. If you know of any FRTBC roost sites in this area that are occupied in Spring please let us know at greatcockycount@birdlife.org.au or in the Spring FRTBC Count registration form (link above).
