Gehrr (Glossy Black Cockatoos)

Gehrr is the Bandjalang word for Glossy Black-Cockatoos.

Minyumai IPA is a key project site for the Glossies Northern Rivers conservation partnership between WWF-Australia, NSW DPE Saving our Species and Wildbnb Wildlife Habitat.

Glossies Northern Rivers is mapping known feed trees, identifying birds and flock regions, finding nests, roosting and watering sites and establishing artificial hollow sites across the 22,000 square km Northern Rivers Region which spans Bundjalung Country.

This year, our project to protect and promote gehrr is expanding - stay tuned

  • Mapping vital feed trees

    The Minyumai Rangers have worked to identify the abundance and availability of Gehrr feed trees as part of this project.

  • Installing critical habitat

    Seven hollows specifically designed for Gehrr have been installed within a known feed tree site. These hollows are monitored each month.

  • Observation to inform action

    We are also working to observe Gehrr and their behaviours, deepening our understanding of their needs and supporting their recovery.
