Fast Food For Cockatoos： Diet & Foraging Black Cockatoo Australia Dr Erika Ruper Subtitulos Espanol

In this talk, Dr. Erika Roper explores the diet and foraging ecology of the Karak, the Forest Red-tailed Black-cockatoo, in urban and human-modified environments. Her presentation looks at how these cockatoos find and use food resources in changing landscapes, and what their behavior can teach us about adaptation, conservation, and the challenges faced by wild parrots living near people. By studying what Karak eat, where they forage, and how they respond to urban food availability, this talk highlights the importance of understanding wild parrot diets within the broader context of habitat change, ecology, and conservation planning. This presentation was part of Wild Parrot Diets: Lessons from Foraging Ecology for Better Captive Care, a free online mini symposium hosted by The Macaw Society on May 22, 2026, with the generous sponsorship of Harrison’s Bird Foods.
