Kangaroo Island Glossy Black-Cockatoo Foraged Sheoak Data, 2023 – 2024

Created 10/01/2026

Updated 04/03/2026

This study aimed to investigate whether the reduction in food supply following the Kangaroo Island 2019 – 20 Black Summer fires would result in Glossy Black Cockatoos foraging less selectively on Allocasuarina verticillata (drooping Sheoak) food trees within those patches, i.e. at higher foraging rates. We investigated whether foraging intensity (i.e., the proportion of foraged trees relative to total number of examined female trees) in regions on Kangaroo Island impacted by the fires differed from that in unburnt areas, and whether that had resulted in GBCs feeding on cones with lower food profitability in burnt regions.
