GANG GANG COCKATOO RANGE MAP FULL

Gang-gangs are so dextourous that any physical banding or marking of birds is frought with difficulties, so we are really relying on you for this important information. In addition to local movement, your sightings will help tell us how far birds may travel in a day or two to access bird seed feeding points and how important (either in a positive or negative way) this feeding may be to maintaing Canberra's Gang-gang population. Please keep an eye out and report any sighting of these birds. We hope to learn more about how Gang-gangs move through the landscape from further recordings of Baldy and other Gang-gangs with distinctive features, such as Pie (with one eye), Jake (with the peg leg) and the distinguished Goldfeather. Nearly all we know about local Gang-gang movements has come from reported sightings of the distinctive male 'Baldy' who travelled up to 4km to forage when feeding two chicks in the nest. Please look-out for distinctive Gang-gangs The Red Hill Regenerator site also has a link to a guide to Gang-gang nesting behaviour which give clues as to what to watch out for at the beginning and as the breeding season progresses. If you could report any such activity that would be fantastic. From now till mid October is when Gang-gangs are most noisy and active in their search for a nesting hollow so it is a good time to keep an eye out for any Gang-gang activity in or near a hollow. The page also has a summary of the outcomes to date from the nest hollow citizen science research.
