<\/a><\/p>\nWhere to See Them<\/strong><\/p>\n You’ll find gang-gang cockatoos in cool or wet forests and woodlands, like those found in the upper Blue Mountains. Look for their soft, whistling call to find them, as they move quickly through canopies of tall eucalyptus trees. They are most often spotted at altitudes between 700 and 1400 meters above sea level. In winter, if you look closely on warm days you may see these gang-gang parrots feeding on flowering lillypilly (Syzygium smithii). Lillypilly is widespread across Australia but is particularly common across high altitude rainforest in eastern Australia.<\/p>\n In Canberra they are known as \u2018squeaky doors\u2019 because of the sound they make, Gang-gang Cockatoos are quite unique in appearance.<\/p>\n Gang-gang cockatoos are monogamous birds and pair for life. They nest in the deep hollows of trees, pairs usually returning every year to the same tree. The breeding season takes place from October and January. The female usually lays two white eggs and incubation lasts about 24 to 30 days, performed by both parents. The adults feed the chicks for 7-8 weeks, then 4-6 weeks more after fledging.<\/p>\n What to Look For<\/b><\/p>\n The gang-gang cockatoo is a shy, quiet bird, keeping to itself and darting away at any signs of danger. When it does socialise, it takes place at dusk when they gather in large numbers (known as \u2018roosts\u2019) to spend their evenings together. The gang-gang cockatoo is often found near streams, waterfalls and creeks, as well as woodlands with red gum trees or along forest edges.\u00a0 Their distinctive call will help you locate them from far away. Listen out for short bursts followed by an ascending whistle, which will easily distinguish them from regular galahs and corellas.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
