Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo Zanda latirostris eating fruit (nuts) on a Hakea undulata plant in Greenmount National Park, Perth, Western Australia. It is one of the two white-tailed Black Cockatoos we have in our region. On of the main differences from the other white-tailed cockatoo is that this one has a shorter top beak. The IUCN red list notes the species as Zanda latirostris, recognising an elevation of the subgenus in its conservation assessment. The range of threats to the declining population, estimated to be between ten and fifteen thousand remaining individuals, is listed with the conservation status of endangered by extinction. The bird is part of an annual census, the Great Cocky count, that has been held every year since 2009 to track the population change of Baudin's and other black cockatoos.
