\"baudin<\/a>Last year, we had a lot of black cockatoos on the property, but I couldn’t tell if they were short billed Carnaby<\/a>\u00a0or long billed Baudin’s <\/a>black cockatoos. \u00a0We had a large flock of about 50 on the property this morning eating the seeds on the Marri trees and I was able to get some reasonable photos which clearly show that they are the endangered Baudins. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0These birds are found only in the\u00a0Southwest of Australia<\/a>\u00a0and nowhere else in the world. \u00a0The total population is estimated at around 12,000 and is listed in the\u00a0IUCN Red List<\/a>\u00a0as Endangered.<\/p>\n

In the State they are listed Endangered- Schedule 1,\u00a0‘rare or likely\"20130705<\/a> to become extinct’ under the\u00a0Wildlife Conservation Act 1950\u00a0(Edwards 2005)<\/em><\/p>\n

Nationally, they are listed as vulnerable<\/a> under the\u00a0Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.<\/em><\/p>\n

Internationally they are listed under Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Fauna and Flora (CITES 2005).<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The feathers are brown and black, but edged with dusky white giving them a scalloped appearance. They have white patches on ears and a white band towards tip of tail. \u00a0The male’s bill is black and he has pink round his eyes, the female has a pale grey bill and dark eyes.<\/p>\n

They make a strange moaning, croaking sound when they are eating, and there was quite a cacophony. \u00a0They weren’t disturbed by my presence, possibly because the guinea fowl were happily pecking round my feet. \u00a0Even the dog didn’t bother them, they just kept croaking and eating and dropping the empty nut shells to the ground. \u00a0They have a harsh shriek if alarmed and a high pitched warbling cry when in flight. \u00a0Normally they are\u00a0wary and difficult to approach as sentinel birds alert the flock. \u00a0They can live up to 45 years and pair bond for life.<\/p>\n
