Buy Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo – Available for Adoption
Carnaby’s black cockatoo (Zanda latirostris), also known as the short-billed black cockatoo, is a large black cockatoo endemic to southwest Australia. It was described in 1948 by naturalist Ivan Carnaby. Measuring 53–58 cm (21–23 in) in length, it has a short crest on the top of its head. Its plumage is mostly greyish black, and it has prominent white cheek patches and a white tail band. The body feathers are edged with white giving a scalloped appearance. Adult males have a dark grey beak and pink eye-rings. Adult females have a bone-colored beak, grey eye-rings, and ear patches that are paler than those of the males.
Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo For Sale
The Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo is classified as Endangered. This may surprise some people, as the species occurs over quite a wide area of south-western Western Australia, where they are often rather conspicuous, sometimes congregating into large flocks. They are even considered pests by some farmers when they descend onto crops of almonds and similar foods. However, their population has declined greatly in recent decades, due mostly to the loss and fragmentation of their preferred habitats, and they need the support of conservation programs to ensure their survival.

You have the option to personally pick up your pet. The pick-up location will be provided, and a date and time will be scheduled. Alternatively, if driving to pick up the pet is not feasible for you, we can arrange for the pet to be handed over to you at the nearest airport to the pick-up location.

A dedicated driver, well-versed in animal care during transportation throughout the ground delivery journey, will be responsible for your pet’s well-being. Regular stops will be made to clean your pet and provide fresh water and food. Your pet will be transported inside the car salon, ensuring a comfortable temperature and minimizing travel stress. The fee for ground delivery will vary based on the distance and will be calculated automatically at checkout if available for your location.
03. Air Delivery
Your pet will be transported to the nearest airport via American Airlines cargo and handed over to you at the cargo station location by an American Airlines cargo representative. The pet will travel in a comfortable kennel, securely closed, with water and food attached to it. The cost of this transportation option will be calculated during checkout.
