Species Zanda latirostris Carnaby, 1948

Carnaby's Black Cockatoo, Short-billed Black-cockatoo

 

Distribution

States

Western Australia


Extra Distribution Information

Drier sectors of SW Australia, between 300–750 mm isohyets, in band through inner wheatbelt from Geraldton and Bunbury in the north and west to Albany and Recherche Archipelago in the south and east, avoiding karri-jarrah forests of extreme south-west, but entering that region to feed on plantations of exotic Pinus—erratic on Rottnest Is.


Note that conversion of the original AFD map of states, drainage basins and coastal and oceanic zones to IBRA and IMCRA regions may have produced errors. The new maps will be reviewed and corrected as updates occur. The maps may not indicate the entire distribution. See further details below.

Extra Ecological Information

Seasonal breeder, sexually dimorphic, feeds arboreally and near ground mainly on seeds of proteads and conifers, flies over forest and woodland with slow buoyant wing beats and protracted glides, roosts in groups, nests in large tree hollows lined with wood chips, female alone broods and feeds whitish-downed chicks, wanders regionally to seasonal food sources.
