Endcount, Long-Billed Black Cockatoo 2, 2016, Digital print & acrylic on canvas, 100 x 84 cm, $2,500 SOLD

Long-billed Black-cockatoo is a large bird found in south-west Australia.
This cockatoo mainly feeds high in the forest canopy on the seeds of marri and that its penchant for commercial fruit crops can prove deadly.

Its decline is primarily due to land clearing for agriculture and deforestation, some orchardists illegally shoot birds found raiding their crops.
There are approximately 10,000 - 15,000 birds in the wild. However only 10% of these are breeding adults putting the estimated population at only 1,500 birds. 

The Long-billed Black-cockatoo is listed as endangered by the IUCN.
