Gang-gang Nests (tree hollows) project on iNaturalist

September/October is the time when Gang-gang cockatoos are most active in our South Coast region.

This species is in decline (nearly 70%) with its status recently changed to Endangered. As little is known about their nesting habits as well as feeding, Budawang Coast Atlas of Life (BCAL) project on iNaturalist is collaborating with a project started in the ACT asking all to record observations of the Gang-gang’s nesting behaviour in our area.

It will take a determined effort to locate and observe a tree hollow being used by a pair of Gang-gang cockatoos, however it is still important to record any sightings of Gang-gang cockatoos. Below are links to record your sightings. Note you need to ‘JOIN’ each project before you can add an observation.

When an active nest is found, we would like you to contact us at budawangcoast@gmail.com as we may be able to provide and help you with a camera on a pole to observe the Gang-gang’s behaviour more closely.
