An article about our recent fabulous news of a Palm Cockatoo chick fledgling from an artificial log hollow. I like to call them ‘zombie’ hollows- they are dead but given (vertical) life once again. #PalmCockatooProject

I have been leading loads of Palm Cockatoo conservation research and management up Cape York way this past month! Doing everything we can (given financial constraints) to save this endangered species. #PalmCockatooProject
A room of 15-yr olds on zoom with an ecologist. Everyone happy.
#PalmCockatooProject conservation work is ramping up again this year 🥹🤓.
Looking forward to presenting some of my #PalmCockatooProject conservation work @iccb2025.bsky.social (just 2 weeks ahead of going back up Cape York for more palmy work)! If you're an ICCB delegate, do come along to my 5min speed talk (self-chosen format)- I'd love to see you there 💃.
Thanks, @euanritchie.bsky.social & @martinemaron.bsky.social and John for this powerful article & msg to our leaders. Pleased the #PalmCockatooProject could provide the lead image. This tree sadly burned to ash. 1 of many b/c of bad fire. To help palmies: www.peopleforwildlife.org/theapudthama...
Your support means so very much to me, thank you 🙏 🤗. Our precious and rapidly declining Palm Cockatoos certainly need all the support they can get, especially re good fire management! #PalmCockatooProject
