Ruffling feathers - our home is a black cockatoo nursery

BirdCast

When Larry and Barbara retired to the south of Western Australia they " thought" their days of research and development were behind them - that was until some large and noisy neighbours decided to drop in for a drink.
Since arriving at their home in Nullaki, Western Australia; the 3 species of black cockatoos - which are all endangered - The Carnaby cockatoo/ngolyenok, Baudin's cockatoo/ngolak and the Forest retailed cockatoo/karrak - have made such an impression on Barbara and Larry that they have decided to dedicate their property to the preservation of the species and are inviting every day people to join them in the battle to halt the extinction of these magnificent birds.
So was born the Nullaki Cockatoo Nursery.
The Nursery is in the City of Albany within the Nullaki natural wilderness, around 50km west from the regional town of Albany, Western Australia. It is truly stunningly serene and has been placed under strict wilderness protection through a conservation covenant by the City of Albany.
The word Nullaki is a local indigenious word in noongar language meaning "narrow place of seaweed" - making reference to the nearby inlet (later named Wilson's Inlet by the first european settlers).
Within this Nullaki wilderness Barbara and Larry have listened to the noisy black cockatoos and set up artificial cockatoo nest tubes to compensate for the lack of available cockatoo sized nest sites. They have started with 20 for now and are offering other humans who are interested the ability to buy one of these nest tubes, to make it their own. They are selling these already installed nest tubes for $250AUD. The tube will become the property of the purchaser. Barbara and Larry then voluntarily host the owner's cocky tube in a tree on their own property in the area where all the cockatoos are looking for suitable nest sites.
Barbara and Larry make no money from the sale of the cocky tubes, the $250 is what they paid to have the cocky tubes supplied and installed. They volunatrily offer their time and offer their trees to the new owner's tube.
They have also ensured that the tube's will always be protected and be able to stay ion the "cockatoo nursery" for the lifetime of the tube is written into Barbara's and Larry's land ownership, so that no matter what happens to them, the new owner/s will have to ensure the tube is always in the tree and at the disposal of the cockatoos to use - black cockatoos if they successfully fledge young will return to the same nest site for their lifetime - that way protecting the investor's purchase. On purchsing a tube Larry and Barbara mail you a hard copy of the cocky tube details and a information letter explaining all the ins and outs of the Nullaki Cockatoo Nursery cocky tube purchase.
Realising that not every human has $250 to spend - Larry and Barbara are also offering an entry level rental for $50/breeding season. This private model is something entirely novel to the conservation of the black cockatoo scene of Western Australia and is 100% sure to ruffle some feathers.
