Department of Environment and Climate Change (NSW) (2007) Terrestrial Vertebrate Fauna of the Greater Southern Sydney Region.Landscapes and Urban Planning 100(3): 295-301 (2011) Do fire and rainfall drive spatial and temporal population shifts in parrots? A case study using urban parrot populations. The edges of feathers in underparts have edges of yellow or pink. Nests are located in hollows that are 7 cm in diameter or larger in eucalypts and 3 metres or more above the ground.

Favours old growth forest and woodland attributes for nesting and roosting.May also occur in sub-alpine Snow Gum ( Eucalyptus pauciflora ) woodland and occasionally in temperate rainforests.In autumn and winter, the species often moves to lower altitudes in drier more open eucalypt forests and woodlands,particularly box-gum and box-ironbark assemblages, or in dry forest in coastal areas and often found in urban areas.In spring and summer, generally found in tall mountain forests and woodlands, particularly in heavily timbered and mature wet sclerophyll forests.It is rare at the extremities of its range, with isolated records known from as far north as Coffs Harbour and as far west as Mudgee. It occurs regularly in the Australian Capital Territory. In New South Wales, the Gang-gang Cockatoo is distributed from the south-east coast to the Hunter region, and inland to the Central Tablelands and south-west slopes.

They have also been introduced to Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia. Here they can found on the East coast in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. They feed on seeds, berries, nuts, fruits and insect larva.Īustralia is the native home of the gang-gang cockatoo. An average weight would be between 240 and 330g (8.4 and 11.5oz). Their body measures 32-37cm (12.6-14.6in) long and their wingspan is between 62 and 76cm (24.4-29.9in) across. The beak is horn colored and the eye is dark brown. The gang-gang cockatoo (Callocephalon fimbriatum) is found in the cooler and wetter forests and woodlands of Australia, particularly alpine bushland.Mostly mild grey in colour with some lighter scalloping (more pronounced and buffy in females), the male has a red head and crest, while the female has a small fluffy grey crest. Both the male and female have a wispy crest of feathers on the head. They can be easily told apart with the male having a scarlet red head and crest of feathers.
