Palm cockatoos are pretty incredible birds.
To woo lady palm cockatoos, males make drumsticks from branches and seed pods and beat their own rhythms while whooping and flapping their wings. Their rosy cheeks glow vibrant red when they’re excited.
But bulldozers are making them vulnerable to extinction. This cannot go on.

Dear Member of Parliament ,
Biodiversity is its biggest decline since the extinction of the dinosaurs, yet it is absolutely required for finding of new medicines, clean water supply, and resilient crop breeding. Sanctuaries and National Parks also benefit tourism and sustainable supply of wild species e.g. for fishery and forest revegetation.
Please support the important roles of sanctuaries and National Parks for conservation to ensure that we can ensure that future generations can enjoy these essential ecosystem services.
Best regards
Peter
Gerald Durrell put it like this: “The world is as delicate and as complicated as a spider’s web. If you touch one thread you send shudders running through all the other threads. We’re not just touching a thread, we’re tearing great holes in it.” Every species has its place. We need strong national environment laws to protect places and wildlife and, ultimately, ourselves. And who wouoldn’t miss such a character as this bird?
