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.

your kids won’t know they existed. and you’ll know you could’ve done something about it.
I want future generations to know these beautiful creatures first hand not from a book or video. Please take action to protect their habitat otherwise we will lose them forever.
We need laws that will stop companies destroying these palm cockatoo’s habitat. Laws that will compel decision makers to make decisions that help, not harm, our living world. Laws that will give these creatures a voice. Soon it will be too late and you will have been part of the destruction of these magnificent creatures. Take a stand, do the right thing. Please…..you have the power to do this.
This is only one of a number of species that are endangered due to habitat loss – most often destruction of habitat through logging. There are also the additional pressures of pollution & climate change, particularly in relation to our marine creatures. I call on the Labor Party to be visionary & vigilant about environment protection so that are lives & those of our fellow species are not diminished due to short term monetary profits. Thank you.
When any living thing goes missing from our earth we lose something from ourselves. It is a wake up call that all is not well with the environment in which we live. If we are to live healthy lives we have to maintain a healthy environment. We need to stop destroying the very thing that we need to live, our environment. Please don’t let us lose this beautiful creature,
Australia has some of the most unique and diverse wildlife in the world. However, our biodiversity is suffering and the current government is not doing enough to protect it. We need real change on this issue.
For the protection of our rapidly diminishing native animals, stronger laws MUST be enforced lest we lose the lot.
There is pride and patriotism in protecting our native animals, plants and the country. Take your greedy hands out of your pockets and spend our money on something other than yourselves and the greedy businesses puppeting you around.
Hi Andrew, there’s nothing romantic about extinction, so keep these palm cockatoos drumming. Cheers Janet

Please give added protection to these birds.
Please do not allow another beautiful creature such as this to disappear for the greed of developer’s.
Why don’t you act for Australia and stop allowing invasive and destructive practices. I am not a lone voice most of the people I talk to are disgusted in this governments record of ignorance.
We need stronger environmental protection to create sustainable long term habitats for birds and animals on the brink of extinction
Razing forests, seismic blasting, cooking our climate: reasons enough why we need stronger environmental laws.

We urgently need better and stronger Environmental laws to protect nature and the animals for future generations. I was lucky enough to see some Palm Cockatoos when I was up Cape York 2 years ago but this might soon be a thing of the past if you don’t act! THANK YOU
Minister,
I understand that laws need to be changed to protect our beautiful land and it’s biodiversity
Please help protect our land for our kids and it’s natural inhabitants
Australia is in urgent need of strong national environment laws to protect our unique places and wildlife that we love. Let’s not be responsible for adding any further animals to our already endangered lists.
Don’t follow the stupid mistakes we Americans made, allowing some of our birds to disappear from our lives. Remember, once they are extinct, you don’t get a “do over”!
Australia needs strong national environment laws to protect the places and wildlife we love – please raise this with your party leader.
Think of your families and their children and future generations of Australia we MUST protect our environment!
