A three-month search across 21,000 square kilometres for one of Australia's rarest cockatoos has paid off, with a 'momentous' discovery in northern New South Wales.The species is often mistaken for common yellow and red-tailed black cockatoosConservationists have located a pair of glossy black cockatoos at Bogangar near Casuarina Beach in the Tweed Shire.
"It took nearly three months for us to locate our first pair of glossies in the area that we are searching in."It is estimated the birds, which rely on tiny cones from casuarina, or she-oak, trees and large eucalypts for nesting, lost up to 50 per cent of their habitat on the NSW North Coast in the 2019 bushfires.
