Find out about a beautiful and endangered cockatoo. This episode is about cockatoos and how scientists and community are working together to protect the South-eastern Red-tailed Black-cockatoo.

Richard Hill is a conservation biologist who works on threatened birds and mammals. He shifted to Casterton with his family to study the region's endangered Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, and he's never looked back. Richard’s work involves understanding and mitigating key threats to the south-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo and Brolga, as well as working on a number of threatened small and medium-sized mammals.
