Introduction

Baudin’s Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus baudinii and the Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus banksii naso both occur in the humid and sub-humid forests of south-west of Western Australia (Saunders et al. 1985; Johnstone and Storr 1998; Higgins 1999).  These ‘Forest Black Cockatoos’ have similar breeding and feeding requirements (Johnstone 1997; Johnstone and Storr 1998) and face similar threats (Garnett and Crowley 2000).  Therefore, any recovery actions undertaken to benefit one species is likely to benefit the other and this is why a combined Recovery Plan for Baudin’s Cockatoo and the Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo has been prepared.
