What we do & how you can help
-
Saving our Iconic Black CockatoosWe rescue wild black cockatoos in distress – having been struck by vehicles, fallen, shot, pulled from their nests, or attacked by ravens, cats, or other birds - and rehabilitate them at Kaarakin, our Perth Hills site, before releasing back into the wild.
