The Glossy Black Conservancy Flossy Finders project is building a visual identification database of female Glossy Black-Cockatoos. This database will help us better understand nesting behaviour of this vulnerable species as well as inspire citizen scientists to get involved in hands-on data collection.
Before participating in this project, it is essential that you watch a short training video. The video will help you understand how to identify female Glossies and how to take good photos for scientific purposes.
To learn how to identify female Glossy Black-Cockatoos and to tell Glossies apart from other Black-Cockatoos, check out our ID resources here (link to resources page)
With the support of the Queensland Government, we’ve developed a short, 6-minute video to help citizen scientists learn:
Every photo of a female Glossy counts. Your contribution helps us build a better understanding of these iconic birds and what needs to happen to secure their future.
