Merch will have some beautiful gang gangs very soon!
Depicted here is a female Gang-gang enjoying the pods of a gungurru (Eucalyptus caesia ‘Silver Princess’). This native bird is indigenous to most of Victoria, extending into eastern New South Wales, south-eastern South Australia and Northern Tasmania. They eat eucalyptus seeds, as well as larvae that’s hiding beneath bark and fruit of introduced species. Like all cockatoos (of which Australia has nine species) they nest in deep hollows. To support them, we can plant indigenous eucalyptus, and install nesting boxes suitable for cockatoos.
Thanks for the beautiful photo!
