This image is from the 2024 Bird Week Australia Exhibition “Spark” How one bird can change everything.
​Is there a bird you accidently noticed or unexpectedly encountered or one that made your heart skip a beat & fall in love with?
The One that ignited your birding passion or made you appreciate your local feathered friends.
If so, this is your “Spark bird” a term used by birders to describe that first bird that got them seriously interested in birding. 
 
For Angela it is Black Cockatoos.
 
Meet Nellie!
Nellie resides at Kaarakin Black Cockatoo sanctuary, a centre dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of black cockatoos in Western Australia.
 
Nellie was a rescue but was very young and unfortunately too imprinted to be released back into the wild. He now lives in the interactive aviary with his other cockatoo friends.
 
In the wild, the population of this cockatoo species has declined because of habitat degradation. Trees with suitable breeding hollows are rapidly being cleared and are in short supply. In addition, food trees have also declined.
