LARGE BLACK PARASITES CRY OUT - TO BE SAVED!

Glossy Black Cockatoo |
All along the eastern seaboard of Australia a large black flying parasite can sometimes be heard crying out with deafening squawks reverberating around craggy cliffs. However, this magnificent creature is less commonly seen feeding on its helpless host. Not often referred to as a parasite, the Glossy Black Cockatoo (eastern subspecies) in South East Queensland must feed off either of two plant species to survive. A parasite is an organism that must feed exclusively off another organism to continue to exist.
The Glossy Black Cockatoo feeds for 6-7 hours a day exclusively on the very hard seeds of Sheoak trees. Surely they must feed on other stuff as well you ask? Well, it appears that the habit of the Glossy Black Cockatoo to chew bark, wood or fruits of gum trees (like other cockatoos) has been mistaken for feeding. All the studies to date show that it is just a thing they do and is not feeding. During the nesting season a division of labour agreement operates between the two partners. The female lays and incubates the eggs most of the time while the male partner feeds himself and then regurgitates food for the female. Good job they are close! Usually partners for life in fact. So the Glossy Black Cockatoo is effectively a mobile yet noisy parasite of the Sheoaks.
Dear friends,
You may have missed it, but the Tasmanian Government last week unbelievably signed an agreement handing over Tasmania's forests to the Gunns pulp mill for the next 20 years - in the very same week Professor Garnaut warned them of the dire climate change consequences facing us.
If we don't act now, bulldozers will start clearing land for the mill that will contribute 2% of Australia's greenhouse emissions - at a time when we're being told we need to drastically cut our emissions. But unfortunately Australia's forests were largely left out of Garnaut's recent interim report.
We have only one opportunity to put them in the picture. A proper assessment in his impending Climate Change Report of our native forests' climate change value may just sink the mill project. Click here now to sign the petition asking Professor Garnaut to examine the full climate impact of this mill madness and the logging of Tasmania's native forests.
