Habitat

Baudin's black cockatoo is found primarily in moist, temperate forest and woodland dominated by the eucalypts marri (Corymbia calophylla), karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor) and jarrah (E. marginata), but can also be found in apple and pear orchards and occasionally in wandoo E. wandoo woodland (9) (10). Whereas this species largely occupies coastal regions, its close relative, Carnaby's cockatoo, is usually found further north and inland in drier woodlands, but there is substantial overlap (8) and in summer and autumn the two species occur in the same woodlands and forest over a large part of the range of Baudin's black cockatoo (7).
