We're joined by Daniella Teixeira to discuss Black Cockatoos! Currently completing her PhD at the #UQ Centre for Biodiversity & Conservation Science, Daniella has over ten years experience as an ecologist and conservation biologist, in roles ranging from threatened species recovery to fisheries & sustainability monitoring. She's a member of the Recovery Team for South-Eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos and the Glossy Black Conservancy, and co-founder of first National Black-Cockatoo Forum in 2018. Her recent work focuses on the conservation, behaviour, and bioacoustic research of threatened birds. We discuss Black Cockatoos, bushfires, bio-acoustics for conservation, and much more, over poppy-seed lemon drizzle cake and Unmanageable Noise cocktails!
