Extra Ecological Information

Seasonal breeder, sexually dimorphic, feeds almost exclusively on seeds harvested arboreally from large unripe cones of casuarina (Allocasuarina littoralis, A. torulosa, A. verticillata, A. cristata), flies through and above forest canopy with slow buoyant wing beats and protracted glides, roosts in small groups, nests in large tree hollows lined with wood chips, only female incubates and feeds yellow-downed chick, wanders locally or regionally to seasonal food sources.
