Great Cocky Count
Contribute to Cockatoo Conservation
The Great Cocky Count (GCC) is a citizen-science survey, and the biggest single survey of the 3 black-cockatoos species in Western Australia.
Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos.
In the lead-up to the GCC each year, people are asked to keep an eye out for cockatoo roost sites, which helps in planning the upcoming GCC. Then, on one evening each autumn, volunteers monitor known roost sites and count black-cockatoos as they arrive in the evening. Records submitted from across south-western WA provide a snapshot of black-cockatoo populations, helping us quantify changes in their numbers.
