What can you do to help our Red-tails?

  • Fence off existing stands of Stringybark and Buloke and scattered paddock trees on your property, to protect from stock damage and to allow for natural regeneration.
  • Increase the area of Red-tail feeding habitat by planting new stands of stringybark and Buloke.
  • Protect dead and live trees with hollows.
  • Where possible, avoid or minimise burning of stringybark as this substantially reduces their food supply (use minimum scorch burning: see Recovery team guidelines for burning)
  • Protect and fence off younger stands of Red-gums for roosting and to allow for future nest sites.
  • Take part in the annual count for the Red-tails.
  • Report all sightings of Red-tails to our freecall number 1800 262 062

It’s very early in the season but there have already been a couple of sightings of Red-tails in Buloke. Normally we might expect the Red-tails to turn up in the Buloke around March but there were sightings from two weeks ago of Red-tails investigating Buloke in the Bringalbert area and then last week they were seen actually feeding just a bit further west near Benayeo.
