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.
Report a Sighting
Sightings helps us get a better understanding of the birds’ patterns of movement, which will lead to an improved knowledge of their needs.
Join the count
Although we can’t guarantee you’ll see a Red-tail on the day, we’re sure you’ll enjoy a fun day out in the bush searching for our colourful cockatoos.

New Observation & Photography Guidelines for Red-tails
New guidelines have been developed for the safe observation and photography of Red-tails.
The observation and photography guidelines for the South-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo have been developed to guide and provide important information for the ethical observation and photography of Red-tails.
Red-tails are very wary birds that can easily be distributed, particularly during the nesting season. The impacts of this disturbance can be very serious with the worst outcome being the loss of nestlings.
The following guidelines provide a list of recommendations to follow when observing and photographing nesting and feeding birds.
